Scale (y axis) can be improved

[github-user-1]

On the plotted graphs the scale on the y-axis is either missing or hard to read. In same cases that's not much of a problem - e.g. for CPU load one probably would generally assume that the values are 0-100% on the y-axis but printing it might be helpful to guide the eye (and just for clarity).

However, on the bandwidth graphs I really struggle to understand how much bandwidth was used (see example below) - there is a number within the graph on the top right side, but I don't know what it means (maybe it's related to the peak value?). The best would be a clear tick-marked y-axis with rounded numbers (maybe changing according to the max. value being shown)

Btw - regarding the "Total Number" - when did the counting start, e.g. today, last hour, since xx,... ?

Thank you for your feedback!

• In general, the indication in the upper right corner of the charts shows the max value of the scale. By design this is 110% of the peek value of the chart.
• For the charts in the section 'Host' (CPU load etc.) I'll add a 100% indicator - to support clarity as you proposed.
• I'll test if readability can be improved by altering the design of the charts.
• The 'Total' number represents GETINFO('traffic/read') and GETINFO('traffic/written') according to the definition of the Tor control protocol. Based on my experience this is the amount of data sent / received since the launch of your Tor instance. That means, the number will be zero-ed e.g. each time you reboot your relay or when you stop/start your Tor instance.
