What is syslogProcMsgsDropped?

This counter tracks messages that could not be relayed because they couldn't even be queued for transmission, for example due to a full internal buffer. A rising value here signals the syslog process is overwhelmed or its forwarding destination is unreachable.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.2.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogProcMsgsDropped

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.2.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogProcMsgsDropped.1
