64bit counters or what?

Habakkuk3_17-19

why is this not enabled by default? and if i do enable it, will it expand the database size by any great proportion?

i'm assuming when i see interface traffic represented as, example 1.044983E+07 bits per second, then i need to enable the 64bit counters on the device. is this correct or is that found on some other radio button?

thanks,

Gil

This is what I know about 64-bit counters. We had this issue and changed the settings, but it did not appear it fixed it 100% either.

Straight from Orion's administrators guide.

If you have high-speed interfaces and you are experiencing frequent counter rollovers, you may wish to enable 64-bit counters. Confirm that the monitored device supports 64-bit counters and check the Allow 64-bit Counters checkbox in the Node Details window. Note: Some vendor implementations of 64-bit counters produce faulty data. If you are experiencing erratic or incorrect data, you may wish to disable 64-bit counters by unchecking Allow 64-bit Counters.
