cQStatsDiscards

Module: CISCO-QUEUE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-QUEUE-MIB::cQStatsDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.37.1.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Description: The number of messages discarded from this queue since restart by reason of enqueue at a time that cQStatsDepth >= cQStatsMaxDepth.

What is cQStatsDiscards?

Counts messages discarded from this queue since the last restart because the queue depth reached its maximum (cQStatsDepth >= cQStatsMaxDepth).

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.37.1.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-QUEUE-MIB::cQStatsDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.37.1.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-QUEUE-MIB::cQStatsDiscards.1

Start monitoring Cisco routers/switches (interface queuing) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CISCO-QUEUE-MIB::cQStatsDiscards OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Cisco routers/switches (interface queuing) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Cisco routers/switch (interface queuing) 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 cQStatsDiscards 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. The number of messages discarded from this queue since restart by reason of enqueue at a time that cQStatsDepth >= cQStatsMaxDepth. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
