mteTriggerSampleType
Module: DISMAN-EVENT-MIB
OID (symbolic): DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::mteTriggerSampleType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.88.1.2.2.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-create
Description: The type of sampling to perform.
An 'absoluteValue' sample requires only a single sample to be meaningful, and is exactly the value of the object at mteTriggerValueID at the sample time.
A 'deltaValue' requires two samples to be meaningful and is thus not available for testing until the second and subsequent samples after the object at mteTriggerValueID is first found to exist. It is the difference between the two samples. For unsigned values it is always positive, based on unsigned arithmetic. For signed values it can be positive or negative.
For SNMP counters to be meaningful they should be sampled as a 'deltaValue'.
For 'deltaValue' mteTriggerDeltaTable contains further parameters.
If only 'existence' is set in mteTriggerTest this object has no meaning.
What is mteTriggerSampleType?
This selects how the trigger samples its monitored object: absoluteValue(1) uses the raw value from a single sample, while deltaValue(2) uses the difference between two consecutive samples and needs a second sample before it's usable. SNMP counters should generally be sampled as deltaValue(2) since their raw value alone isn't meaningful for threshold or boolean comparisons.
