[rrd-users] Huge values

[Andrikopoulos Dimitrios]

No, there is no counter wrap. I used the "snmpwalk" to poll manually the
SNMP counter in question
and it found no wrap.

Hi Dimitris.

Sure. It is called a counter wrap ;)

The rrdtutorial - http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/tut/rrdtutorial.en.html
- or man rrdtutorial will explain the details.
