cnt2BytesToCompress

Module: CNT245-MIB

OID (symbolic): CNT245-MIB::cnt2BytesToCompress

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.4.5.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The number of bytes submitted to the engine for compression. This value will include all bytes submitted whether or not compression was successful. This value will always be equal or larger than cnt2CompressedBytes.

What is cnt2BytesToCompress?

This Counter64 counts the total bytes submitted to the compression engine on this slot, whether or not the compression attempt actually succeeded, and is documented to always be equal to or larger than cnt2CompressedBytes. An administrator uses this as the before-compression baseline needed to compute how effectively the engine is shrinking data on that slot. For example, comparing cnt2BytesToCompress to cnt2CompressedBytes over time shows whether the compression engine on that particular slot is achieving meaningful reduction.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.4.5.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CNT245-MIB::cnt2BytesToCompress

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.333.2.4.5.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CNT245-MIB::cnt2BytesToCompress.1

Start monitoring CNT 2.45-series Fibre Channel switch/compression engine (legacy) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the CNT245-MIB::cnt2BytesToCompress OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any CNT 2.45-series Fibre Channel switch/compression engine (legacy) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a CNT 2.45-series Fibre Channel switch/compression engine (legacy) 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 cnt2BytesToCompress 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 bytes submitted to the engine for compression. 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, 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.
