No, there should also be an .ok file

Perhaps OID_cache.txt?

Does .85 still correspond to the interface?  You may need to re-run
cfgmaker.

If your interfaces change instance number frequently, you may wish to use a
different index, via the --ifref qualifier, e.g.:

/usr/bin/cfgmaker --ifref=name --subdir=site1/HOSTNAME
- --output=/var/mrtg/cfg/site1/foo-router.cfg
'public'@foo-router.example.com::2:1:1:2
