I install mrtg rrdtool an router2.cgi
They are working.
I would like to understand which is the different when, in my.cfg, I put routers.cgi*Graph[fwall.eth1]: Combined
and
routers.cgi*Options[fwall.eth1]: scaled
and when I don't put them.
What is "Combined" ad "scaled"?
In my graph I don't see the different.
Are there some examples and documentation about router.cgi*xxxxx?
Thanks
Andrea

All of the extra directives are documented in the doc/MRTG_INFO file shipped with routers2, and also in the other documentation in the same directory.

The routers.cgi*Graph[] directive is used to define a UserDefined graph, plaing lines from several Target[]s onto a single graph. In your example, you are defining a new graph, 'Combined' (you should see it in the 'Targets' menu with a cog icon).

The routers.cgi*Options[] directive lets you set various other options for routers2, whch can override any defaults or options set in the normal Options[] statement.

The 'scaled' option will have the same effect as 'routers.cgi*UnScaled[]:none' which is to say that the graph will have its Y-axis scaled to the data as far as is possible rather than being fixed to MaxBytes or greater or to any other specified values. Depending on the nature of your defined target[], and options in the routers2.conf, this may already be the default behaviour anyway so adding this option will produce no additional effect.
