Solarwinds Misreporting Linux Volume Size (165% full?)

bharris Apr 29, 2015 10:22 AM

I was just made aware that Solarwinds is misreporting the volume size of a linux file system. The file system is 25TB and is 58% full, but as you can see in the screenshot below, is reporting it as 8.6TB and is 165% full. Any ideas how to correct this? Is this a miscalculation with SNMP or Solarwinds?

We've seen this ourselves with large Unix volumes, I believe it's to do with 16 bit counters limitations and SMNP agents

Here's a post regarding a similar issue with VMware volumes: 8TB limit bug on ESXi 5.1.0 datastore polling?

  Yep, I just did an SNMPWalk on that volume and did some calculations with those two OIDs and I am getting the values that Solarwinds is reporting.
