rEtherStatsDropEvents
Module: GBNServiceRMON-MIB
OID (symbolic): GBNServiceRMON-MIB::rEtherStatsDropEvents
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.13464.1.2.3.2.1.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe due to lack of resources. Note that this number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped; it is just the number of times this condition has been detected.
What is rEtherStatsDropEvents?
This counter tracks how many times the probe itself dropped packets due to lacking resources, not how many packets were lost overall. A rising value tells an admin the monitoring probe is being overwhelmed and may be under-reporting other statistics in this same row, e.g. jumping from 0 to 12 during a traffic spike.
