Duplicates ZBXNEXT-954?

Comment by Artjoms Rimdjonoks [ 2020 Jul 28 ]

It is a duplicate of ZBXNEXT-954.

Basically, there are 2 standards:
1) IEC - uses the base of 1000: 1000 bytes in a Kilobyte, 1000 Kilobytes in a Megabyte etc.
2) JEDEC - uses the base of 1024: 1024 bytes in a Kilobyte, 1024 Kilobytes in a Megabyte etc.

It happens that Zabbix uses the JEDEC. Google conversion uses the IEC

Resolution seems to be wrong. As far as I understand, the issue has not been Fixed.
