+### Changing data profile averages 
+
+The Cacti GUI allows you to change the averages on a specific Data source profile
+some setups require a higher resolution of data and you may want to change the averaging to
+keep the most data this will come with a cost of storage due to the bigger sized RRD file
+
+To do this follow these steps
+
+#### Method 1: 
+
+### New system without any hosts
+
+1. Login to Cacti
+
+2. Click on Presets >> Data Profiles
+
+3. Select the profile you want to edit i.e 1 minute collection
+
+4. Select the period which you want to edit i.e weekly
+
+5. If you wish to change the average select the aggregate level for 1 minute
+   you will be able to go as low as 5 Minutes
+
+6. You will need to edit the Rows amount to match the data retention you want 
+   to set after this period the data will be averaged out to the monthly graph
+
+7. Save config and generate graphs
+
+
+#### Method 2: 
+
+### Existing device on system ( Remove exisitng graphs)
+
+This is a more data destructive route and it will depend on your situation
+If you have graphs already on cacti you will not be able to use method 1
+One option if you do not care about the graphs is to either remove the graphs via the gui
+or run the following script `/cli/php remove_graphs.php with the --all` function which will REMOVE ALL THE GRAPHS
+You can then follow the steps outlined in Method 1 to change the profile how you like
+
+
+### Data profile Rows Calculation
+
+The rows calculation take in to account the following 
+
+Rows = Aggregate level * hours 
+
+Example
+
+1 Minute aggregate level storing for 3 days ( 72 hours) 
+
+(Aggregate level)60 * 72 ( 72 hours) = 4,320

+
+In order to ensure that Spine will process single OID's correctly, 
+They should be written using numeric format separated by dots, such as `1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.97.`
