hi,

the Horizontal show the time and vertical show the bandwidth usage in network.

and the Blue line show the outbound and Green line is Inbound on your network

I had some similar confusion when I first started using MRTG. The horizontal axis represents hours, in 24hr format, with the current time being the left side of the axis. So the graph shows activity for the last 24hrs moving from left to right. The red line on the graph is midnight of the current day.

Thx Brother ,

Still i have a question . If i want to measure the Bandwidth in a particular moment then which bar (Either green or blue) will be measured ?

Both. Green == traffic in, Blue == traffic out.
