Wilson,

In general yes, but we'd have to get deeper into what the target is, and how you're collecting metrics.

Subject: Typically Zenoss uses SNMP

Typically Zenoss uses SNMP (the Host-Resources MIB) to monitor file system sizes and, typically, SNMP agents on your boxes don't support numbers bigger than 2TB. Not an issue with Zenoss but with the SNMP agents.

What you CAN do is change the filesystem monitoring to use ssh, rather than SNMP, which uses commands like df to get file sizes and you are not limited to the 16-bit responses like SNMP. It is a bit of a pain as you need to setup ssh users and either passwords or dsa keys to permit the communication, but it IS possible.
Cheers,
Jane
