ERROR: not a simple integer: '-1772628932'

[Pumpi]

Polling Checkpoint FW1 - Accepted Packts I get no values.

Running snmpwalk to this OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0 I get

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2620.1.1.4.0 = INTEGER: -1732425292

Can I fix this ?

[Pumpi]

Is there an option to make this value possitive with CDEF ?

[rony]

CDEF:

a,-1,*

Which would make any value it's inverse. Just making any value positive, I don't know, but this will make that number positive.

[TheWitness]

Please attempt to run the query with snmpv2 instead of v1. This may be a counter overflow.

Otherwise, I am not sure that RRDTOOL allows storing of negative COUNTER values. You need to use GUAGE or something like it.

Rony, CDEF works but not for this negative integer

TheWitness, seems that rrdtool can't store such values

I'll try to ask Checkpoint ....

Here some infos:

Variable: fwAccepted
Data type: integer
Description: The number of accepted packets
Possible values: any number

• * These variables should be handled as unsigned integer
  
  * The range of integer is -2147483648 2147483647 ( -(2^31) to 2^32 - 1)
  
  * The range of unsigned integer is 0 - 4294967295 ( 0 to 2^32 - 1)
  
  * Using the counters as signed int can cause problems.
  For example:
  o If the counter = 2147483647 (which is MAX INT) and 1 is added
  to counter the result is:
  
  signed: -2147483648 (which is overflow)
  unsigned: 2147483648 (which is ok)
  
  o When the unsigned Int value reaches its maximum it would
  swap to 0

do you receive solutions from CP ?
