However, filer-mrtg also has the measurement 'Network Interface e10a (type=ethernet-csmacd) - Sent and Received'. For this we are seeing 1280K KBytes peaks. What exactly is this measuring, and what is the maximum value?
I've run into this. The distribution on the NOW website has some default values that are a bit low. In the "conf" directory of your filer-mrtg installation edit the filername.cfg file and change the MaxBytes parameter to something 10 or 100 times larger than what it is. For example, on this filer named "nasty" with a GB ethernet I put it way up there:
Target[nasty.net.interface1]: 1:notreallymysnmpcommunity@nasty MaxBytes[nasty.net.interface1]: 125000000
