On our routers, the CPU stays in the 0-50 range, and if we fixed it at
0-100, then it would be hard to see the CPU graphs when it was in the
0-20 range, which happens on occasion.
The reason y-max is useful in http-performance is that sometimes it
takes a LONG time to fetch a web page, and it's a bummer if the entire
graph is crunched becuase of that. Thus, we cap the spikes to a few
seconds, so we can still see the low data.
What might be nice is a way to tell RRD that I want it to auto-scale,
but that under no circumstances should it allow y-max to get bigger
than X. Then, my http-performance graphs will always be maximally
legible. Tobias, are you listening? :)
