In == 200, out == 10.  So, you probably have less than one
message per second.  After dividing by 300 you end up with
a number below 1.  The integer below 1 is 0.

This line makes "growright, integer" disappear.  The default as
specified with "[_]" is not used because you specify a target
specific options line.

Right.  Now go to http://faq.mrtg.org/ and read the Intro to monitoring.
Pay extra attention to "difference" and/or "delta".
