Check.  What you need to know is that MRTG doesn't work with values,
it works with rates. Also MRTG only works with integers.

Delta == 3, DeltaTime == 300, Rate == 0.01 per second.  This number
gets truncated to zero.  You shouldn't expect '3' to turn up anywhere
in the log file.

options (choose one, not all):
- Try the perHour option
- Multiply the target by 100 and display percentages
- Use RRDtool
