Module: AGENT-STATS-MIB2
OID (symbolic): AGENT-STATS-MIB2::syscalls

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Integer32
Access: read-only
Description: The system calls made by the process
What is syscalls?
This OID reports an integer counter of system calls made by the process. Operationally, it reveals the intensity of kernel interactions—processes with very high syscall counts may indicate inefficient code paths or I/O bottlenecks affecting overall system performance. A concrete example reading might be 8956, representing total system calls executed.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.30.4.15 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> AGENT-STATS-MIB2::syscalls
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.30.4.15.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> AGENT-STATS-MIB2::syscalls.1
