hrStorageUsed

Module: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

OID (symbolic): HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The amount of the storage represented by this entry that is allocated, in units of hrStorageAllocationUnits.

What is hrStorageUsed?

This OID holds a counter showing how much storage space is currently in use on the device. It tells you what percentage or amount of a disk, memory, or buffer is occupied by data and programs. A network operator checks this to monitor if a device is running low on storage and might send an alert if it exceeds 90% capacity.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageUsed.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a host computer or server running an SNMP agent 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 hrStorageUsed 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 the amount of this storage entry currently allocated, in the storage's own allocation units. 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 usage approaches the storage's total capacity (e.g. above 85-90%), since running low on storage can cause application or logging failures. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
