Reports how many flows are currently in use in the meter's flow table. An admin watches this against flowMaxFlows to see how close the meter is to running out of flow-table capacity.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowActiveFlows

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.40.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> FLOW-METER-MIB::flowActiveFlows.1
