gsmpSessionTimer

Module: GSMP-MIB

OID (symbolic): GSMP-MIB::gsmpSessionTimer

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.5.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The timer specifies the time remaining until the adjacency timer expires. The object could take negative values since if no valid GSMP messages are received in any period of time in excess of three times the value of the Timer negotiated by the adjacency protocol loss of synchronisation may be declared. The timer is specified in units of 100ms.

What is gsmpSessionTimer?

This read-only value (in units of 100ms) counts down the time remaining until the session's adjacency timer expires, and can go negative if no valid GSMP messages have arrived for over three times the negotiated timer interval, at which point loss of synchronization may be declared. An admin watching this go negative knows the session is about to be (or already should be) declared down.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.5.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GSMP-MIB::gsmpSessionTimer

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.98.1.5.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GSMP-MIB::gsmpSessionTimer.1

Start monitoring Vendor-neutral ATM/MPLS switch under GSMP controller, any manufacturer (RFC 3294/3295) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the GSMP-MIB::gsmpSessionTimer OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Vendor-neutral ATM/MPLS switch under GSMP controller, any manufacturer (RFC 3294/3295) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing GSMP-MIB as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type gsmpSessionTimer into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports, in units of 100 milliseconds, the time remaining before this GSMP adjacency's timer expires. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drops close to or below 0, which means the adjacency is about to (or has already) expired. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
