RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Chris Cheney 2019-04-28 06:26:15 UTC
UCD-SNMP-MIB uses INTEGER32 instead of COUNTER64 for memory OIDs which limits the reporting to 2 TiB (using KiB as the base).

Large modern servers often contain more than 2 TiB of memory leading to the OIDs rolling over and reporting negative values.

Comment 2 Josef Ridky 2019-04-29 13:11:27 UTC
We can't modify any value from UCD-SNMP-MIB, due this MIB isn't owned by Red Hat (owner is U.C.Davis, ECE Dept.).

Unless owner will change it to Counter64, we can't do it as downstream patch.

Comment 6 Josef Ridky 2019-05-20 09:10:21 UTC
From upstream, this issue has been resolved by adding new <var>X values. (See https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/master/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt#L642) 

This change is available in Fedora and RHEL-8 already. I'll prepare patch for RHEL-7.8.
