All four of these lines have been in the config for a long time, but the

tracking ID.
I think this explains it.  RRD only permits one update per (by default)
5-minute interval, and any subsequent ones are rejected.  If you had 3
updates going on every 5 minutes, only the first would have been accepted.
So if mule_aps or mule_nwsi were both reporting NaN then it's possible that
only 1/3 or all updates had valid data.  Your graph seems to show about 1/3
present, and 2/3 missing.
