MAXVALUE *should* allow decimal values... and SCALE should allow decimal 
percentages too. You do need to have the leading 0 in both cases, 
though. Maybe that's your issue there? I would have expected that you'd 
get a syntax error for that line in the config file otherwise though.

Yes.

       TARGET scale:100:/var/www/html/mrtg/rrdfiles/NorthMPLS/art1a-BAL-MD01.rrd:median:-

(for rrdtool only, but in most recent versions)
or
            TARGET 
100*gauge:/var/www/html/mrtg/rrdfiles/NorthMPLS/art1a-BAL-MD01.rrd:median:-
(must be no spaces, only works in 0.96test1, but works for any datasource)

> Anything else obvious I might be missing? I'm happy to RTFM if someone has a link, Google was less than helpful in this area. It turned up a few posts and such, but upon reading them I'm starting to think that php-weathermap won't work with smokeping. Is this the case?

Yes, other people are using it fine, as far as I know. I did try it 
briefly before deciding to use Cisco IP SLA instead, for my own 
latency/jitter maps.

Maybe I should write up a few use-case type articles for this sort of 
thing...
