I wish to graph the use of modems.

The only way I can get the info I need is via a program that runs
on a machine that is not the one I have cricket on, so it writes to
a file.

Problem - weird numbers. I suspect this is some units/averaging/other
thing I'm not setting.

Log output:
[21-Jul-1999 16:45:02 ] Reading data from /home/stat/services/ModemData for modemserver
[21-Jul-1999 16:45:02 ] Retrieved data for modemserver (): 13,30
[21-Jul-1999 16:45:02 ] Processed 7 targets in 2 seconds.

13 and 30 are the numbers I want. First is staff, 2nd is students.

The numbers on the graph though...
Staff: 14220473.37 Modems
                                Students: 14220473.37 Modems

Methinks I have some overflow or other oddity error?

The cricket-config/Defaults file is the one that came with
The Defaults file for the graph in question is:

Target --default--
        rrd-datafile = %dataDir%/%auto-target-name%.rrd
        target-type = ModemServer

dataSource ModemStaff
        ds-source = file:0:/home/stat/services/ModemData
                        rr-ds-type = GAUGE

dataSource ModemStudent
        ds-source = file:1:/home/stat/services/ModemData
                        rr-ds-type = GAUGE

targetType ModemServer
        ds = "ModemStaff, ModemStudent"
        

graph ModemStaff
    color = blue
    draw-as = LINE1
    legend = "Staff"
    y-axis = "Modems"
    units = "Modems"
        si-units = false

graph ModemStudent
    color = red
    draw-as = LINE1
    legend = "Students"
    y-axis = "Modems"
    units = "Modems"
        si-units = false
