acctngAgentMode
Module: ACCOUNTING-CONTROL-MIB
OID (symbolic): ACCOUNTING-CONTROL-MIB::acctngAgentMode
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.60.1.3.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: An indication of the behaviour mode of the agent when a file becomes full:
'swapOnCommand' - the agent does not automatically swap to a new file; rather, it discards newly collected data until a management application subsequently instructs it to swap to a new file.
'swapOnFull' - the agent terminates collection into the
current file as and when that file becomes full.
What is acctngAgentMode?
This OID indicates whether the accounting agent automatically switches to a new file when the current one fills up or waits for a manual command. A network engineer checks this setting to understand the device's backup behavior during high-traffic periods when accounting logs fill quickly. A value of 2 (swapOnFull) means the device automatically rotates to a fresh accounting file without losing data, while 1 (swapOnCommand) requires manual intervention.
