hcAlarmValueFailedAttempts
Module: HC-ALARM-MIB
OID (symbolic): HC-ALARM-MIB::hcAlarmValueFailedAttempts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.29.1.1.1.1.16
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of times the associated hcAlarmVariable instance was polled on behalf of this hcAlarmEntry, (while in the active state) and the value was not available. This counter may experience a discontinuity if the agent restarts, indicated by the value of sysUpTime.
What is hcAlarmValueFailedAttempts?
This is a running count of how many times this alarm's sampled variable was polled while active and came back unavailable. Admins watch this counter to detect a misconfigured variable pointer or an unreachable object, since repeated failures mean the alarm isn't actually monitoring anything useful. A rapidly climbing hcAlarmValueFailedAttempts count for an entry usually means the pointed-to OID no longer exists on the device, for example after an interface was removed.
