What is dnsServCounterOtherErrors?

This counter tracks the number of DNS requests that were aborted due to local server errors (not the DNS query result, but infrastructure failures). An operator would monitor this to detect when the DNS server is experiencing internal processing problems.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterOtherErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.2.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterOtherErrors.1

Start monitoring DNS server host software, e.g. BIND (vendor-neutral, IETF/IANA standard) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServCounterOtherErrors OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any DNS server host software, e.g. BIND (vendor-neutral, IETF/IANA standard) from a single console.
