Traffic warning?

We are implementing traffic warning with munin (eth0 / ip_XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX), 
and now it works. However, due to the strong variations, traffic warnings 
about average traffic pr. 5 min. are not interesting. Rather, we need traffic 
warning of the average pr. 8 hours or pr. day.

Is there any simple way to do that? Could we for instance fix it by a simple 
change the ip-plugin?

>From the ip-plugin: 

if [ "$1" = "config" ]; then

        echo "graph_order out in"
        echo "graph_title $IP traffic"
        echo 'graph_args --base 1000'
        echo 'graph_vlabel bits per ${graph_period}'
        echo 'graph_category network'
        echo 'out.label sent'
        echo 'out.type DERIVE'
        echo 'out.min 0'
        echo 'out.cdef out,8,*'
        echo 'in.label received'
        echo 'in.type DERIVE'
        echo 'in.min 0'
        echo 'in.cdef in,8,*'
        echo 'in.warning 50000'
        echo 'in.critical 100000'
        echo 'out.warning 50000'
        echo 'out.critical 100000'
        exit 0
