cpwVcTimeElapsed

Module: CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB::cpwVcTimeElapsed

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.106.1.2.1.29

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of seconds, including partial seconds, that have elapsed since the beginning of the current measurement period. If, for some reason, such as an adjustment in the system's time-of-day clock, the current interval exceeds the maximum value, the agent will return the maximum value.

What is cpwVcTimeElapsed?

This is a live counter of how many seconds (including fractional seconds) have ticked by in the current 15-minute performance-measurement bucket for this pseudowire, capping at 900 if the system clock is adjusted mid-interval. It lets a monitoring tool correctly normalize the current-interval packet/byte counters into a rate, since that bucket is still filling and hasn't reached the full 15 minutes yet. If this reads 420, the current-interval counters represent only 7 minutes of traffic so far, and any rate calculation must divide by 420 seconds rather than 900.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.106.1.2.1.29
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB::cpwVcTimeElapsed

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.106.1.2.1.29.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-IETF-PW-MIB::cpwVcTimeElapsed.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco ASR 9001 as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cpwVcTimeElapsed into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports how many seconds have elapsed in the pseudowire's current 15-minute performance-measurement interval. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is stuck at the same number across repeated polls — since it normally cycles from 1 to 900 every 15 minutes by design, a stalled value indicates the pseudowire has stopped collecting statistics. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
