[mrtg] Re: Plotting ICMP

[Philip J. Koenig]

Success!  I don't know why, but it seems that when I changed the 
Options: keyword on the 2 other targets included in the CFG from 
this:

> Options:[target1]: nopercent, perminute, gauge


To this:
> Options:[target1]: nopercent, gauge


The 3rd target, which already had those options set, started working.

I realize 'gauge' and 'perminute' are probably conflicting, but that 
was a weird way of responding to the syntax problem.

Thanks to Alan van den Bogaerd for offering suggestions, including
that one.
