Hi,

that was a good point. If I am adding "gauge" to the options than MRTG starts 
working correctly. The only problem is that my data are of not of type gauge. 
I need the difference between the data. In the manuals I reed:

"In the absence of 'gauge' or 'absolute' options, MRTG treats variables as a 
counters and calculates the difference between the current and the previous 
value and divides that by the elapsed time between the last two readings to 
get the value to be plotted."

Why does MRTG not work it in my setup? Any idea ? Please find the mrtg.cfg 
listed below:

WorkDir: /srv/www/htdocs/mrtg
