One thing that can cause this is timeouts.  If you have a lot of targets for
one server, it is possible that your MRTG instance will spend so much time
waiting for responses from the dead server that it has no time left in the
window to poll the other servers, hence the grey bars.

I get around this by splitting the cfgs into a dozen separate sets, and then
running forks=5 for each set, and decreasing the timeout down to 4 sec for a
SNMP response or pns/nrpe connect.  This stops down hosts from blocking too
much.
