Chris,

Looks you have reached the limit of an unsigned 32 bit integer (4TB).

The solution I implemented for this was reporting memory metrics, per
host, in MB. That pushes the aggregate 4TB limit away quite a bit. The
long term solution would be implemented 64bit metrics - I started
working on that awhile ago, but it kept getting pushed down on my
priority list.


If you like I can send you a patch to Ganglia's code which brings down
the granularity of memory metrics to MB. Keep in mind that all your
previously collected memory data will be lost, unless you scale it down
in the RRDs (I never bothered doing that, as I encountered this issue
early in the test phase).


Cheers,

Alex
