IO-rate-graph cuts of spikes > 100% when the IO-rate drops under 100% again #927

Closed

Description

@binarynoise

I have set my cpu, network and disk activity as graphs.
The problem is that the disk activity can grow >100% when multiple disks are attached (like 200% when copying large files from one to the other hdd). When the io activity drops to 100% because one disk is slower than the other, the graph looks like this:

and the spikes beyond 100% are cut off.

That also happens to the network-IO

My suggestion would be to ensure that the max value is always in scale and maybe lock that scale to multiples of 100%

    Currently the graph doesn't support dynamic scaling (but I tried implementing one in the pull request #714 ). Your problem here is probably the "total" value of the Disk IO meter is incorrect when there are multiple disks.

    The total value is not incorrect (100% per disk, just like with the CPUs), it just has weird scaling.
    But good to know, that you are already working on that 👍

    This issue is technically resolved by #1721, not #714, but the link is outdated.
