Graphing router errors "per minute"

Hi there,

My cricket collects ifinerrors and ifouterrors every 15 minutes.  I do
not use cricket for graphing, I simply use rrdtool's graphing function
wrapped in my own script.

MRTG states that the data is stored as "per second".  In other words,
whatever numbers are collected are divided by (the collection interval
* 60) to get errors/second over the 15 minutes interval.  You can give
it a "per minute" option that gives you simply the number collected
divided by 15.

Does cricket store the number as "errors per second"?  Is there a "per
minute" option?  Or do I need a CDEF in my graph definition that will
multiply the data by 60 to get "per minute" ?  Or is the data collected
in errors/collection_interval that I need to divide by 15 to get "per
minute"?

Hope this makes sense to someone and that someone knows the answer.
