Statistics Counter Size

Hi all

 

 

I have been having a good look around but have not come across the answer to this.

 

 

How big can each of the statistics counters go? Are they 32bits in size or more?

 

 

Many thanks in advance

    Hi Simon,

     

     

    Another poster tested (Click here and found it was somewhere around 2^31.

     

     

    You could confirm this by setting a counter to somewhere close to 2^31 and then increment the counter until it flips sign.

    Thanks for the quick response. I spent ages looking but as usual never in the right place :D

     

     

    Cheers

    No worries. If you test this and confirm the length could you reply here? Also, if you'd like to see this documented in a solution on AskF5, you could open a case with F5 Support requesting they create a new solution. We could also update the stats wiki page (Click here) to note this once it's confirmed.
