    overflow counters

    Hello,
    as desribed here http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19272 I have a problem with gaps in graphs. How is it connected with counters overflow?

    In previous thread I monitored ifInOctets, which uses 32 bits counter. Traffic on the interface is really high - 300 Mbps, so 32 bits counter overflows in few mins. I think, that when the overflow happens, zabbix has a problem to update the database. SNMP correctly receives the value but zabbix does not update history table in database (see the previous post).

    After I switched to ifHInOctets (64 bits counter), which is the only change in configuration I made, I do not have a problem and all values are correctly updated in database.

    I found for example here http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9151, that zabbix should handle the overflowing without a problem, but not in my case. Should I fill in a bug report?
