Apologies if this email has already been answered. Looking at the graph image, looks like the sample times are not in time order. So the plot of plotting backwards and forwards in time. Hence the interesting mess. Interesting, I looked at my code, and I do not order the points by anything. They are ordered as default, which is the order they points were entered into the database. Not the time order :) This can I change for next versions. However, you still have a problem with your database. Has the time, or time zone, been changed on your Nagios several several times during the lifetime of the plot? Please let us know, Ben.
