mrtg logfile not rotating

[s***@wondrusch.com]

Hi all

I have a strange problem. It seems that mrtg is able to get the
current values and loging them to the first line of the logfile. But
2nd and following lines stay always zero. My chart is a zero-line,
also the written value "Current" is always zero.

The setup: The device I'm polling is an Amperemeter (APC PDU AP7953).
The snmp value is not a counter. 4,3A give a snmp value of 43. I did
let it run for a long time and it did not change behaviour.

What could be the reason, that the values are not processed to the
following lines?

thx & rgds Stiwi

figured it out myself

MaxBytes was to small. It has to be bigger than the numbers loged in
the logfile

I changed it to:
MaxBytes[_]: 15000
