Through my MRTG I am trying to monitor my CPU Load and Disk usage. I am generating 2 graphs, the 2 respective log files are xband-disk.log file, containing hard disk statistics and xband.cpusum.log file, containing cpu usage.
The problem is with xband-disk.log file. Every 5 minutes, MRTG renames the "xband-disk.log" file to an "xband-disk.old" file, and then creates a NEW xband-disk.log file, instead of inserting new statistic in the old one.
Say, for example, I started MRTG at 12 PM. So at 12 PM, MRTG will generated a new log file for CPU and Harddisk, and each will contain only a single non-zero entry at the top of file.
At this point of time, there is no ".old" file. Now, after 5 mins, that is at 12:05 PM, when MRTG will again log new statistics, it will "insert" the new statistic at the top of the the CPU file, BUT NOT in the Harddisk log file. It will rename the xband-disk.log file to xband-disk.old, and will create a new xband-disk.log file with no non-zero statistic at all (just like the one it crated at 12 PM), and will insert the 12:05 statistic in it. Again at 12:10 PM, MRTG will rename the xband-disk.log file to xband-disk.old, overwriting the old xband-disk.log file, and will again create a new xband-disk.log file.
This is happening only for the xband-disk.log file. The xband.cpusum.log file is perfect, MRTG is not recreating it every 5 mins, its inserting the new statistic like it should. Though it does creates an old file for cpusum also, but creation of an old file for some targets is necessary for the working of MRTG, so nothing abnormal about it.
Here is my MRTG.cfg file

As can be seen, hrStorageSize.31 is for the size of my / partition.
And hrStorageUsed.31 is for the used space of / partition.

Here is the top entries of my xband-disk.log file and xband.cpusum.log. As you can see, the xband.cpusum.log file has all the past entries, but xband-disk.log file doesn't

Here are the top entries of the .old files. As seen, xband.cpusum.old file has all entries too, but again xband-disk.old file has only single entry, since it being overwritten again and again.

Can any one please tell me what is the small mistake I am making.
Thanks in Advance
