Negative numbers for GAUGE or Counter types?
If Counter, that could be signed 32bit counters (31bit numbers with 32 sign bit
being a count back up from from -31bit to 0) ... rrdtool doesn't quite get that
calculation correct so I correct for it before inserting into rrdtool. The
only counters of this type I've run into are WMI and WebLogic, but that's just
an aside.
If Gauge, not sure.
How large is largish? I don't suspect rrdtool will want a negative counter
that is larger than 32bit since it does seem to try and do the signed 32bit
counter rollover math.
and I don't know why your use of it would change, maybe it wasn't complaining
before ... it's been a long time since I've used 1.3.
I suggest you play with an rrd datafile and insert numbers to see exactly what
breaks and if you believe it's a bug/missing-feature then post about it with
the details.

Nope, all the numbers are integers, integer8 – the reported numbers that are
failing all appear to be large (ish) negative numbers

Your code might be intermittently inserting floats for COUNTER, DERIVE or
ABSOLUTE datasource types. Only integers are permitted on those datasource
types.

I've just upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.4.7 - nothing else has changed and now
I'm getting 'Not a simple unsigned integer' on around 2% of my updates on
the rrd files, I have around 10K rrd files. All are defined the same and
all take similar data input
I'm stuck as to why - anyone any ideas ?
Cheers
Paul

Failure is not as frightening as regret.
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
