So I've got this strange issue. I've used the wizard to poll SNMP from two of my directory servers. However when the data is graphed they appear to be formatted completely differently. One is doing an incremental total graph and the other is doing a delta graph. I didn't modify anything specific and they're using the same service check. Any idea why this would be?

Using NagiosXI 2014 R2.7 on CentOS6

*edit- Added information

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing for both graphs?

Absolutely.

Can you go into CCM > Monitoring > Services
For each of these services, click the disk icon
Paste the service definition here of each service.

Also, when viewing the service graphs, the next tab is the Advanced tab
Can you show us a screenshot of the Advanced tab for both services please.

Here you go. The configs will be in the following post.

Here are the configs.

This is an extremely strange issue.

I suspect for the one that is showing the delta rrd graph, the rrd or xml file is causing the issue.

These files are located in:
/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/YYYYYYY

They will be called:
Directory_Server_Aggregate_Errors.rrd
Directory_Server_Aggregate_Errors.xml

I would start off deleting the .xml file.
Then go force an immediate check of the service
Once that completes, go and reload the graph page. It might be broken for a minute or two.
Once the graph appears, does the graph appear as an incremental?

If that doesn't fix the problem then I would delete both the .rrd and .xml files.
You'll then need to wait about an hour to see if the problem is resolved.

The delta graph is the one I actually want. Well sort of, having averaged values isn't useful. But having integer based delta would work much better. But still it's better than the overall count graph.

Does the same behavior occur if you view the rrd files through Graph Explorer?

Home screen > Graphs > Graph Explorer
Scalable Performance Graph tab

Yes.
