[munin-users] Formatting plugin values as duration (left axis)

[Christian W. <cw...@cw...>]

Hello,


I'm trying to display duration values in munin graphs:
Age of a backup file and the last sync of a homebanking account.

I log the values as hours, minutes or seconds - which gives me the
usual "1k" and "40k" labels on the y-axis, which are totally not
understandable by humans.

rrdtool provides a way to format the left axis as a duration, but this
requires the value to be logged as milliseconds.
The plugin's config only has to have the line

> graph_args --base 1000 -l 0 --left-axis-formatter duration

This prints pretty durations on the axis, but the current/min/avg/max
values displayed are not understandable:
> Cur: 56.01M
> Min: 514.00k
> Avg: 42.13M
> Max: 86.22M

The warning mails also make no sense with these high values.

Is there a way to format the values as durations, too?

Attached is a screenshot. Hope it comes through the list.
