All values by default are measured in Bytes by MRTG.
Just ask yourself, what do you call the measurement you want to monitor?
ie
HDD - Mega Bytes
Memory - Mega Bytes
Circuit - Kilo Bits, or Mega Bits

If you call the measurement bits divide it by 8, else don't do anything to
it.

> Options: gauge or integer?
Do you want to graph the difference between the current and previous value?
Yes - don't specify GAUGE or ABSOLUTE
No - Gauge or Absolute

HTH

BTW 'integer' has nothing to do with the type of graph, it just removes the
decimal point and any number after it from the summary lines.
