Little bit more experimentation..... apparently you can't create another datasource with the same OID to try and get around this. I created a datasource for the bgppeers counter and another datasource for the bgppeers derive and gave them the same OID. Once again zenoss seemed to forget about one of the datasources and only write to one of the rrd files. It also looks like i have to delete both datasources, and recreate one to get it logging again.
