Thanks Tom. Will the "removespikes.php" work for the billing in this case or will I have to work out a manual way?
I'm not familiar with how the billing code works exactly (haven't enabled or touched it in any way) but I'm pretty sure removespikes will only work for RRD files. Adam may have a way of checking if this is indeed the problem, or even fixing this?

Hi Nikolay
Thanks for the response but I don't think it's related. The peaks you mentioned are related to rrdtool and rrd. As far as I can tell observium doesn't use the stats in the rrd file to do the 95th billing (as rrd averages over time and makes the billing inaccurate). The stats it uses are from its own polls that are stored in the DB.
That may be true, but the same issues apply, if the counter is reset, Observium will act the same as RRDtool.
