Disk Space reporting on large volume is wrong

Question

It's been posted here (and many other places) that SNMP gives a negative number in reporting on TB volumes.

Disclaimer: I KNOW ITS NOT A ORION PROBLEM,

*but*

Can't we have the code integrated into Orion to "work around" this??

it's pretty simple.. if the hrStorageUsed number's negative then:

(int32.MaxValue * 2) - Abs(SnmpReturn)) * AllocationUnits

Or whatever... just need a fix!

Thanks,

Don

Hi Guys--

I agree.. Orion's a tool, not a SNMP reporter. I all I needed was a SNMP reporter, there's plenty of freeware tools to do that.

SolarWinds just needs to be like the Marines... "improvise, adapt and overcome"

I saw the same issue on CPU usage ()

In working with SolarWinds, I posed the following solution, but never got an answer, other than, "we report what SNMP gives us"

Disagree: There should be data validation/integrity taking place. Just because the system is reporting a negative number, doesn't mean it is correct or that ORION should accept it.

Would you believe that I drove -150 miles this week?
