forcesAssociationHBMsgReceived

Module: FORCES-MIB

OID (symbolic): FORCES-MIB::forcesAssociationHBMsgReceived

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.187.1.2.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: ZeroBasedCounter32

Access: read-only

Description: A counter of how many Heartbeat messages have been received by the CE on this association since the association entered the UP state. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of forcesAssociationCounterDiscontinuityTime.

What is forcesAssociationHBMsgReceived?

This read-only counter tracks how many Heartbeat messages the CE has received from the FE on this association since it entered the UP state. Comparing it against forcesAssociationHBMsgSent helps confirm the heartbeat exchange is healthy in both directions rather than just outbound. For example, a value that stalls while forcesAssociationHBMsgSent keeps climbing suggests the FE has stopped responding even though the association hasn't formally gone down yet.
