Difference between old and new percent utilization charts

I have setup a new Orion server with NPM 10.3.1. I have noticed that the graphs for interface percent utilization don't exactly match between old and new. For example, we get an alert at 6pm that our Transmit utilization has reached 97%. 4 minutes later, the alert has cleared due to the utilization dropping back to 23%. Looking at the old graph, it shows that spike. The new graph appears to only reflect the averages that show on the old graph. Is there anyway to get the new graphs to accurately reflect the min/max info?

Any one?

I've noticed the new graphs have a sample interval of 30 minutes by default, where the old ones were every 15 minutes, I believe. If you try to set the new down to 15 minutes, you get a error stating you can't (to many data points or something) and then you are forced to shorten the date range from 3 months to two months in order to get the 15 minute intervals. I do hope the someone fix this so that when you are viewing shorter intervals, the data rate ramps up automatically and vise-versa.

Is this what you are referring to?

No, that is not what I was referring to. The old interface percent utilization showed the min/max and the average line. The new graph just shows the average line, so you do not see the max spike on the graph.
