What is parDhcpTotalNoOfDiscovers?
This counter tracks the total number of DHCPDISCOVER messages the server has received from clients since it started. Admins use it to gauge how much client lease-request activity the server is handling. For example, a sharp rise in this counter could indicate a wave of new devices joining the network, such as after a mass reboot.
