[Jeff M. Rohr]

After removing the Gauge option and adding perminute, which I've tried
before w/o success, I'm seeing different results.  Now I get some values
that are graphing, but they still are not accurate.  I  remove all
working directory files except the index.html whenever updating the
config file. 

Can anyone tell me why there are 2 sets of values after the initial
reading?  I believe it's graphing the values on the right side.

1169589302 7631 8621
1169589302 2 18 2 18
1169589003 2 18 2 18

Jeff,
I recently ran into this myself.   The answer from Peter Glenville:
---
The default is not Counter but Rate
If you remove the Gauge option, it calculates [units] per second.

64026-64007 = 19
19 in 5 mins equals a fraction of a unit per second. and plots as zero.

If you want a rate that plots, try perminute or perhour options
