I'm trying to use mrtg to graph the amount of data on a network (not a
rate), and I'm using a script to generate the numbers, but they don't
seem to be sticking to the log file. Here are my relevant config options:

Options[_]: growright,nopercent,gauge,noinfo

Target[data]: `stats.sh data`
Title[data]: Data
PageTop[data]: <h1>Data</h1>
MaxBytes[data]: 9999999999999999
kilo[data]: 1024
YLegend[data]: Bytes
ShortLegend[data]: B
LegendI[data]: &nbsp;data:
LegendO[data]:
Legend1[data]: Data


here's an example of `stats.sh data`:
2581275344896
2581275344896
a long time
xernet

(I realize "a long time" isn't a good value for the uptime, but I was
lazy in my scripting, and I understand it's simply a human-readable
string :) )

Anyway, this value, 2581275344896, is in bytes, so the graph should show
me 2.34 TB. However, the graph remains empty with all values at 0.
Here's the first few lines of data.log:

1025227203 2565169217536 2565169217536
1025227203 0 0 0 0
1025226902 0 0 0 0
1025226900 0 0 0 0
1025226600 0 0 0 0
1025226300 0 0 0 0
1025226000 0 0 0 0
1025225700 0 0 0 0

...and it continues with the 0s. Each time mrtg is run, it returns no
errors, and will write the new stats.sh output to the log file, but only
at the top line, and the rest of the lines are always left at 0.

Perhaps this number is too large for mrtg? I believe I gave it a
sufficiently large MaxBytes value. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
