cpqExOsCommonPollFreq

Module: CPQEXTERNAL-MIB

OID (symbolic): CPQEXTERNAL-MIB::cpqExOsCommonPollFreq

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.17.2.1.4.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The Insight Agent's polling frequency.

The frequency, in seconds, at which the Insight Agent requests information from. A frequency of zero indicates that the Insight Agent retrieves the information upon request of a management station, it does not poll at a specific interval.

If the poll frequency is zero (0) all attempts to write to this object will fail. If the poll frequency is non-zero, setting this value will change the polling frequency of the Insight Agent. Setting the poll frequency to zero will always fail, an agent may also choose to fail any request to change the poll frequency to a value that would severely impact system performance.

What is cpqExOsCommonPollFreq?

This read-write integer sets, in seconds, how often the Insight Agent polls for information through the external-MIB mechanism, with zero meaning it only retrieves data on request from a management station and, in that case, rejecting any write attempts to this object. An administrator tunes this to control how frequently third-party OIDs configured in the external status table are re-sampled. Setting this to a nonzero value like 300 would have the agent refresh externally-polled status data every five minutes automatically.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.17.2.1.4.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CPQEXTERNAL-MIB::cpqExOsCommonPollFreq

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.17.2.1.4.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CPQEXTERNAL-MIB::cpqExOsCommonPollFreq.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.17.2.1.4.1.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cpqExOsCommonPollFreq.1
