forcesAssociationHBMsgSent

Module: FORCES-MIB

OID (symbolic): FORCES-MIB::forcesAssociationHBMsgSent

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.187.1.2.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: ZeroBasedCounter32

Access: read-only

Description: A counter of how many Heartbeat messages have been sent 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 forcesAssociationHBMsgSent?

This read-only counter tracks how many Heartbeat messages the CE has sent to the FE on this association since it entered the UP state. A steadily rising count with no matching increase in received heartbeats on the FE's side can point to one-way connectivity trouble, and any sudden drop should be checked against forcesAssociationCounterDiscontinuityTime rather than assumed to mean heartbeats stopped. For example, an admin polling this counter every minute expects it to climb at a rate matching the configured heartbeat interval.
