Hi Tony,

This is a stacked graph for a single device's total traffic, the layers are stacked in the order they're presented on the legend. The legend shows the "out" colours as lines because they're "fake" drawn as lines to get positive values in the legend.

Gi0 and Gi0/0/2 in on this system have no traffic, so aren't really relevant as they aren't visible on the graph. It's a little odd the colours have cycled with only 4 entries, that's likely just a quirk of the colour deciding function.

Anything positive on the axis is in/receive, and anything negative is out/transmit, the same as our other graphs.

Hi, after several years of using Observium, it just occurred to me recently that I am not sure how to read the traffic graphs. For example, I always thought that above “0” on the horizontal axis was transmit and below was receive. But as I look closer, that cannot be. Also, the colors on the graph do not seem to line up with the legend…for example in this graph, I see 4 colors, light/dark green and light/dark purple. But the legend seems to have the same color for g0/0/0 as g0.

I guess my questions are:

How are transmits and receives represented on the traffic graphs?

Why are the colors in the graph not lining up with the legend?

What does negative 100M represent?

thanks
