acctngFileCommand
Module: ACCOUNTING-CONTROL-MIB
OID (symbolic): ACCOUNTING-CONTROL-MIB::acctngFileCommand
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.60.1.2.1.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-create
Description:
A control object for the collection of accounting data. When read the value is either 'idle' or 'cmdInProgress'. Writing a value is only allowed when the current value is 'idle'. When a value is successfully written, the value changes to 'cmdInProgress' until completion of the action, at which time the value reverts to 'idle'. Actions are invoked by writing the following values:
'swapToNewFile' - the collection of data into the current file is terminated, and collection continues into a new (version of the) file.
'collectNow' - the agent creates and stores a connection record into the current file for each active connection having a type matching acctngSelectionType and an age greater than acctngFileMinAge.
What is acctngFileCommand?
This OID is a control lever that lets engineers trigger accounting operations like swapping to a new file or starting/stopping collection. An engineer would use this to rotate accounting files without stopping the entire collection process, useful when files get too large. For example, writing 'swapToNewFile' closes the current accounting file and immediately opens a new one.
