Do you mean the log has to have consistent data
through all the interval periods?

For ex. having the interval set to 5 minutes, and
having in the log only 4 entries per hour (lets say
minutes: 5 10 35 55) the graph will be incorrect or
not built at all? Lets say I get a log entry like this
and with only 2-3 hours a day of activity.

If so, is there anybody who would know of a package
that could handle that?

thanks,
Attila
