Not really. It is doing what you ask it to do.

1200 bytes per second ... Isn't that a bit low ?
You ask to log all values at or below 1200.

Normal ethernet interfaces will do 10 megabit per second, this is
10,000,000 / 8 == 1,250,000 megabyte per second ...
First try "MaxBytes[earnie]: 1250000"

The rate 1200 is provided by the snmp daemon, you may want to check
its configuration ...

If snmp on that machine has separate instances for them: yes. (and
in your case the answer is probably no or else you wouldn't ask this).
Another way of doing this: Try to use netstat and see if it is separated
there. It may very well be possible that all traffic is accounted on the
non-virtual interface so that there is only one set of counters kept.
