I haven't bitten the bullet on migrating to 4.3 yet so I haven't got the
new filenames burnt in yet ;)

If you remove =devmon then the RRD data collector won't process the data
reported by devmon into the RRD files. So you have a choice - data but
no graph, or graph but no data - neither that useful :(
