Looks OK to me, perfectly plausible. (might be an idea not to publich
your machine name in future, mind you!)

                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                    IMPORTANT BIT IS HERE

The values you are polling are both 0. Zero. Zip. Hence, empty graphs.

You have to be sure that you have the right OID. In your case either:
1. you have the wrong one
2. the SNMP agent is not collecting values correctly.

Try running snmpwalk over your target machine and get the right OID. If
it is the right OID, sort out the collection of the variables. Then you
can watch your graphs fill up :)
