[mrtg] Monitoring Discards but not sure if I have to use absolute, gauge,

[James Liakos]

Hi.
I am graphing frame relay discards and seeing as the numbers will always
increment, if I reboot the Router counters will go back to zero but when
I snmpwalk they are increasing really slowly.
Q is which of these values do I have to use... Absolute, gauge so I can
graph realistic figures instead of getting graphs that show 50k and so
forth which infact over the last 5 minutes my counters have only
increased 20 or so (I run the below command and compare).

Here is my snmpwalk output from one of my Router's..
