Unit problem ?

[ram_0000]

The web interface displays "Free disk space on / 30 Sep 16:57:53 1094038.13 GB"

I really like to know that I have 1094 Tera Bytes free on my Hard disk.

More seriously is there a mistake in displayed units.

It displays too "Total disk space on / 30 Sep 16:39:23 2164715.59 GB "

and the result of the command "df -k" gives me
myhost:~# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 2885216 1280980 1457676 47% /

Why is tere a difference between what zabbix and df output

Thank you for help

Most probably you have Multiplier incorrectly set for the monitored parameter.

Check it in Item Configuration Screen.

1000 tera bytes???????? It sounds like you are off by several orders of magnitude. Unless that is, you are a ridiculusly large research or institutional facility

Yeah... It's just a misconfiguration, nothing more!
I guess You just played with Units and Multiplier (Configuration of Items)!

Mulktiplier was part of the problem but it does not fix everything

now I have:
Total disk space on / 2113.98 GOctets

the Item configuration setting are:
Key:disktotal[/]
Units:Octets
Multiplier:-


Hope it will help

diskfree[*] by deafult returns value in Kb
So, just leave Units empty...

Here are the tests I made and the results:
Key:disktotal[/]
Unit:empty
Multiplier:-
Result:2269868816081.28

Key:disktotal[/]
Unit:Bytes
Multiplier:-
Result:2113.98 GBytes

Key:disktotal[/]
Unit:Things
Multiplier:-
Result:2113.98 GThings

Key:disktotal[/]
Unit:Bytes
Multiplier:K(1024)
Result:2164715.59 GBytes

The real size of the disk as shown by the df command:
myhost:~# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 2885216 1184608 1554048 44% /

Can somebody explain this ?

Please, could you give platform details and also version of the agent. Thanks.

Please, could you give platform details and also version of the agent. Thanks.

My host is a PC running a Linux Debian OS
myhost:~# uname -a
Linux myhost 2.2.20-idepci #1 Sat Apr 20 12:45:19 EST 2002 i586 GNU/Linux

The hard disk is as follow:
myhost:~# fdisk /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 3227 MB, 3227148288 bytes
128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 781 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 3 729 2931264 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 730 781 209664 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 1 2 8032+ 12 Compaq diagnostics
Partition table entries are not in disk order

This host has the following zabbix processes:
zabbix_suckerd,
zabbix_trapperd on port 10001,
and zabbix_agentd on port 10002

nothing special in the zabbix_agentd.log file but debug level is set to 3 in the zabbix_agentd.conf file

The version zabbix is the one I found on the zabbix web site few days ago (I think it is a 1.0 version)
