Description: Status of DxCache. The meaning of the statuses are as follows: internal-error - An internal error has occurred. cache-disabled - DxCache is disabled (see trace log if unexpected): - Not turned on - Had a problem loading - Had a problem during an entry update - Has exceeded the maximum configured size - Machine has run out of memory - etc etc cache-building - DxCache is currently loading information from the backend. cache-ok - DxCache is up and running. cache-dirty - The DSA has received a DISP update. DxCache will be refreshed
What is dxCacheStatus?
This enumerated value reports the current operating state of DxCache, such as cache-ok, cache-building, cache-disabled, or cache-dirty. An admin checks this to understand whether directory reads are being served from a healthy in-memory cache or falling back to the slower backend, since per the MIB, cache-dirty means a DISP update forced a refresh. For example, seeing cache-disabled(1) after a trace-log review might reveal the cache exceeded its configured maximum size and shut itself off.
