DRBD 9.x reports the pe and ap counters using a bracket notation that splits them into sub-categories:

  • pe:[application;resync] — pending requests sent to the partner
  • ap:[writes;reads] — block I/O requests forwarded to DRBD

For example, pe:[3;1] means 3 application and 1 resync pending request. Previously, the plugin didn't understand this format and silently reported these counters as 0. The plugin now sums the sub-values, matching the DRBD 8.x single-value semantics.
