I am using xymon 4.3.10.

My xymon client sends 2 values to the xymon server,

   disk_free = 10404175872
   disk_free_limit = 1000000000

The values displayed on the dashboard are correct.   But xymon server
stores a negative value for disk_free and zero for disk_free_limit.  How
can I make xymon stores the proper value to RRD?

     <ds>
         <name> diskfree </name>
         <type> DERIVE </type>
DERIVE is used only for counters like "bytes sent" - i.e. counters that 
continuously go up.

Items such as "disk free" can go up and down; you must use the GAUGE 
type in RRD for those.
