I have my config set up, but have not actually checked it yet.

This doesn't do what you want it to do (if it does anything :-), because you
haven't changed the 5 minute rra, which contains the data points that you
need.

I believe that you need to change this to span the month, I put in 10000
just to be safe (replace the 600).  My rrd files are about 200k in size, so
it shouldn't hurt too much.

Then you will need to write a program or grab one (I believe that I saw a
post about it) that will actually do the 95% calculations.
