Title: Interface services: Do not abort upon counter overflow
Component: Checks & agents
Level: 1
Class: Bug fix
Version: 2.2.0i1
Most of the interface check plugins (such as <tt>if64</tt>) are counter-based.
This means that the
rates shown in the service outputs are computed by Checkmk based on these counters. One
property of
these counters is that they may overflow and subsequently re-start from zero. When this
happens, no
useful rate can be computed for this check cycle.
Before this werk, Checkmk aborted and did not produce any service output in this case.
Now, Checkmk
instead skips the metrics for which the corresponding counters overflowed, but still
produces the
remaining, unaffected results.
Note thas this only applies to ungrouped interfaces, i.e. the vast majority of all
interface
services.
