MRTG is a GREAT tool, enabling users to easily monitor what's going on in the network. I personally have seen many instances where we've detected problems in some pretty critical networks - all because MRTG was giving us real time information on network performance.

Since MRTG automatically adjust the 'Y' Axis, based on throughput, it's likely that sooner or later, an unusual spike will result in an unexpected adjustment in the axis which doesn't reflect what's "really" going on.

I received the following from John:
