What is cfmMdiMetricsLostPkts?

Counts the number of packets lost for a monitored traffic flow, valid only when the corresponding 'lostPkts' bit in cfmMdiMetricsValid is set.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.699.1.1.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-MDI-METRICS-MIB::cfmMdiMetricsLostPkts

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.699.1.1.1.1.6.1

Start monitoring Cisco router/switch carrying video or VoIP traffic (MDI metrics) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-MDI-METRICS-MIB::cfmMdiMetricsLostPkts OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco router/switch carrying video or VoIP traffic (MDI metrics) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco router/switch carrying video or VoIP traffic (MDI metrics) 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 cfmMdiMetricsLostPkts 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. This object indicates the number of packets lost for the traffic flow. 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 a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in packets), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
