items units questions

[ANDros]

I created some items on zabbix that get the values in MB from a bash script, I created the items setting as units M (Megabytes). Consulting the data on the graphs, I see that when the value received exceeds 1000 MB, zabbix converts the value marking it as 1.0 KM instead of 1GB.
How do I correct this problem ?

My version of zabbix server/agent is 6.0.12

Thanks in advance for your support

Set item units to B and add preprocessing rule with custom multiplier of 1048576.

I reported the output of my script in bytes, changed all the items with units B and set the custom multiplier in pre-processing to 1024.

Now zabbix calculates the values correctly

Thank you.

If you send "bytes" and your unit is also B, then you should not need any preprocessing there... Just saying.
