I had an error on the zabbix logs about "invalid values" on net.if.in or .out traffic, it seemed to be when the values were high. It seemed to indicate that the value was invalid for float, so I switched them to unsigned and the problem went away. It had been happening for awhile because I had gaps in the graphs for those interfaces, now no more graphs.
But... these are stored as deltas, for traffic, I don't care about decimals, but for some other things, like NFS stats, it would be nice to see when there was a rate under 1 per sec vs. 0.
So... any thoughts? Is the original issue with invalid values for float a bug? If the data is integer unsigned, but stored as delta per second, should I use float?
Thanks.
