hcAlarmSampleType
Module: HC-ALARM-MIB
OID (symbolic): HC-ALARM-MIB::hcAlarmSampleType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.29.1.1.1.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-create
Description: The method of sampling the selected variable and calculating the value to be compared against the thresholds. If the value of this object is absoluteValue(1), the value of the selected variable will be compared directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling interval. If the value of this object is deltaValue(2), the value of the selected variable at the last sample will be subtracted from the current value, and the difference compared with the thresholds.
If the associated hcAlarmVariable instance could not be obtained at the previous sample interval, then a delta
sample is not possible, and the value of the associated hcAlarmValueStatus object for this interval will be valueNotAvailable(1).
This object may not be modified if the associated hcAlarmStatus object is equal to active(1).
What is hcAlarmSampleType?
This selects how the sampled value is computed: either the raw absolute value at sample time, or the delta representing the change since the previous sample. Admins pick the delta option for ever-increasing counters like traffic octets so alarms trigger on rate of change rather than the cumulative total, and the absolute option for gauges that already represent a current state. Setting hcAlarmSampleType to deltaValue on a byte counter makes the alarm compare how many bytes accumulated during the interval, not the counter's running total.
