    SNMP Counter64 values in database?

    Hello all, I am a new Zabbix user in the process of configuring things for the first time and have a question.

    I want Zabbix to store some raw SNMP high capacity (HC aka Counter64) values (eg ifHCInOctets.3, ifHCOutOctets.3). Does the database schema allow for this? That is, does it use a large integer column (something capable of storing values greater than 2^32) for this? I looked at the DB schema diagram on the wiki but it was pretty unusable. Thanks for any guidance. (Zabbix-3.4.11, Postgresql-10)

    I took a while (being new to Zabbix) but I think I can answer my own question in case it is useful to anyone else... I believe the data from the SNMP counters (or anything defined as "Numeric (unsigned)" goes into table "history_uint" and the the column where they go is declared Numeric(20,0) which is big enough to store a 64-bit value. This is on Postgresql but presumably the same would be true of other databases.
