    Graph showing float values for unsigned numeric

    I created a graph for some items that have absolute values, integers.
    But the plots bellow show

    5m time period:
    graph for 5m
    1h time period:
    Graph for 1h period
    As seen, for 5m or 1h time frame the Y Axis shows some decimal values instead of integers.
    But when I hover the mouse over, it shows absolute values.

    If I expand the time frame things get even worst, as it starts showing float values when I hover the mouse over.

    6h period:
    graph for 6h

    1 day period:
    graph for 1 day

    I have set the display option to be "history" as I thought it would display the actual collected values, but it does not seem to be working.
    Also, these items are configured to keep 90d of history and
    "Do not keep trends", so I figure they are not trending.

    Why is it showing these float values?
    Can I force Y axis to show only integers?
    How can I change that?

    Thank you.

    splitek Thanks for your help.

    For the Y axis, I get what you mean. I will try adjusting the max value so it can better reflect the maximum value the item is capable of reaching.

    When reading this doc, at Generating from history/trends, I understood that "data congestion in the graph" due to pixel size would display trend data despite having history available. But, right after that factor, the doc says "if trends are disabled, item history is used for graph building".

    Since my item has Trends disabled, I figure graphs would not use Trend data. Yet it still shows some float values while hovering the mouse over.

    Of course, if I stretch the graph to fit the screen, it stops showing float values. But if I expand the time period, once again floats are displayed.
    My aim is to fit 4 to 6 graphs into the screen without having to scroll it down. So, bigger graphs don't help me.

      Unfortunately I can not control users monitors.

      I thought Zabbix would suppress some data if the graph size became too small instead of congesting it.

        Monitor with bigger resolution will help..
        In any way you get " data congestion", trends or no trends.

          A floating-point data type uses a formulaic representation of real numbers as they always are signed; unlike the integer data type that could be unsigned.
