That's encouraging. I notice that the configuration you originally 
posted referred
to a different pair of OIDs:

Target[10.100.214.3]: 
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20.1:public at 10.100.214.3

and that the one in your latest post uses the same OIDs as you used with 
snmpwalk.

I wonder whether you are still seeing the -1 values in the log file 
since making
this correction.

If I recall correctly (and I'm not sure that I do), loading the MIB is 
for convenience
rather than function; it allows reference to an OID by name rather than 
by dotted tuple.
If I'm mistaken, I hope someone else on the list will put me right.

In any case, if you wish to load non-default MIBs, you just need to 
refer to the
relevant files in the global 'LoadMIBs' option.  I'm not familiar with 
Windows, so
can't suggest where the 'natural' place in your file hierarchy for these 
files
might be.

Each of the graphs is generated independently and scaled according to 
the range of
values actually present; the MaxBytes parameter isn't taken into 
account.
