I seem to recall that you told us the other day that your .log files
were as follows:  one line with three numbers, and every line
following with one number and four zeros.  If that is the case, your
graphs are doing exactly as they should.  They get 0 for in, 0 for
out, 0 for inmax, 0 for outmax.

but what does it put in the log files?

there you go.  since you are getting all zeros, your graphs should be
empty.  This is not an mrtg problem.  This is an snmp problem.

your SNM machine is monitoring different OIDs than mrtg is monitoring.

good.

------
186 mozart!/tmp/mrtg >> ./mrtg.debug mrtg.cfg
Reading ifDescs from mrtg.ok ...
getting SNMP variables for target: 2:public at mozart
snmpget: ifInOctets.2 ifOutOctets.2 mozart public
2:public at mozart --> in: 0  out: 0  name: mozart


tada!  it is reporting 0.  there you go.  now we gotta figure out what 
OIDs it should use.  One of our mrtg configs says

Target[vxr.temp]:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.3&1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3.1:public at ipaddress

so we need to do the same with you.  What is the exact OIDs that you
need to monitor?  Does SNM show you?  What do you get if you do an
"snmpwalk mozart"?  Can you capture that to a file and find the stuff
which looks like the right values for ifInOctets and ifOutOctets?  

I don't know very much about Solaris, but someone else on this list
might.  It might be profitable to ask some Solaris experts this OID
question.
