Re: [pcp] pmval does not print negative values (#67)

[Ken McDonell <notifications@xxxxxxxxxx>]

But as Frank has pointed out there is already at least one metric with instantaneous semantics and often negative value ...
kenj@bozo:~$ pminfo -dtf swapdev.priority

swapdev.priority [swap resource priority]
Data Type: 32-bit int InDom: 60.6 0xf000006
Semantics: instant Units: count
inst [0 or "/dev/sda7"] value -1

Now the Units are wrong (I'll fix that), but otherwise similar ... but interestingly

kenj@bozo:~$ pmval swapdev.priority

metric: swapdev.priority
host: bozo
semantics: instantaneous value
units: count
samples: all

/dev/sda7
-1
-1

works ... so this may be as small as a corner case in the handling of non-integer values in pmval, as Rares originally suggested.
