syslogParamsDNSLookup

Module: DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB

OID (symbolic): DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogParamsDNSLookup

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.2.2.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: If doNotUseLocalCache is on, fresh DNS lookups will be carried out everytime a hostname is encountered. Else, DNS lookups will be carried it only once for each hostname.

What is syslogParamsDNSLookup?

Controls whether hostname resolution uses a local cache (useLocalCache, the default) or performs a fresh DNS lookup every time a hostname is seen (doNotUseLocalCache). Disabling the cache trades extra DNS load for always-current hostname-to-IP mappings in log entries.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.2.2.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogParamsDNSLookup

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.2.2.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogParamsDNSLookup.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.2.2.1.9.1 i <value>
