Sometimes the ESX Host does not report valid counter ids.
It may look like

&lt;id&gt;
  &lt;counterId&gt;-2147483645&lt;/counterId&gt;
  &lt;instance&gt;84&lt;/instance&gt;
&lt;/id&gt;

If this happens the <<<esx_vsphere_counters>>> section in the agent is empty. Any checks which relied on this section are now able to handle this scenario by raising a MKCounterWrappedException. Therefore these checks will no longer go UNKNOWN, but stale...
