We’re seeing garbage data on some of our AIX (7.1) clients like this:
red Thu Jun 23 15:29:28 EDT 2011 - Memory CRITICAL Memory Used Total Percentage &red Physical 18446744073709551177M 4096M18446744073709551606% &green Swap 40M 4096M 0%
The ones that exhibit problems have Active Memory Expansion enabled. Is there anything we can do to get valid data? Should I report it as a bug?

Hi,
As far as I recall, Henrik fixed this in the newer versions - 4.3-branch - something with a sanity-check in the code, so that we shouldnt get these bogus alerts. Problem is (as I remember) that its actually the system that sends these values back to the agent - so it's not related to Xymon.

I looked at that a bit, but I have no idea what normal is, so it didn’t tell me much. I certainly didn’t see anything like “18446744073709551177M”. :)
The problem seems to have cleared on its own for now. If it reappears, I’ll send the output from that command. Thanks.
