What happens inside rrd is something akin to voodoo. On longer time period graphs it'll give you an average for whatever measurement period that graph is using. These are calculated by rrd, we have no input there beyond defining the number of measurements for each measurement period length the rrd will hold.
I'm not entirely sure without digging out something with the graph you're looking at, which I don't have at the moment!

So what does a "moment" mean? If I look at the 24-hour graph, I get different numbers to the longer timeframe ones.For example, the 1-year graph says there is 1 client currently connected, but the 6 hour graph says it's 0. I'm guessing the longer-term graphs are averaged over a particular time frame, but I don't know what it's using for time units._______________________________________________On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 1:13 PM, Adam Armstrong <adama@observium.org> wrote:That graph seems to be showing a gauge of the number of clients connected at that moment.
It's not possible to count client totals for a period using a gauge, that'd require a counter type data source from the device.

_______________________________________________I'm using Observium to track wireless clients on our Cisco wireless controller. It's very useful. However, when I look at the longer-term graphs (monthly, yearly etc.) it's less useful because I'm not sure what it's showing. Is it clients per day, per week or what? For an example, see: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3183918/apelmRwNW7.png.Is there a way to get the legend show the rate rather than just a plain number?--
