    Problem with HP Procurve counters

    Some time ago i've implemented a Zabbix server in our network. Our network consist of mostly HP Procurve and with a few Cisco switches.

    The problem that we are facing is that de counters and graphs from the HP devices are stopping at 400MB (We are using 1GB lines and 10GB lines).

    On Cisco you have Counter64 value's that sort this problem. But our HP switches only have Counter32 value's.

    If I take one item the following is set:

    Item OID: ifInOctets["index","ifDescr","24"]
    This is a dynamic OID but it's pointing at .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.24

    Units: bps with multiplier of 8

    Type of information: Numeric (float) it's counter32

    Store value: Delta (Speed per second).

    What happens is that all our graphs for these 1GB ports stop at arround 400MB when the value's drop the graph is drawing without problems.

    Does anybody nows the correct settings for HP procurve ports? On Cisco you have HCoctets these are counter64. But HP does not have counter32 at all.

    It is the SNMP agent coded in the switch firmware that has to offer support for 64bit counters and this only works in SNMP v2c or higher. Just to make sure the switch supports 64bit counters, from the Zabbix server try to do a snmpwalk for 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6 (ifHCInOctets) and see what you get.
