[mrtg] Safe to edit mrtg log files by hand?

[Gaurav Ghimire]

In case of spikes I modify the log files as per my need. But do I need to
update the .old files as accordingly.

MRTG needs the .log files only right!!...I mean .log files generates
everything that is needed so why do we need to manipulate the .old file as
well.

Regards,

Gaurav
