takeEffectWhen

Module: HP-OV-NETMON

OID (symbolic): HP-OV-NETMON::takeEffectWhen

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.4.4.2.1.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This MIB object specifies when the user specified interface status will impact the Event System and the Topology database. A value of atNextStatusPoll(0) indicates that the value will be recorded in netmon's process memory but will not impact the Event System and Topology database until netmon is ready to perform the next status poll on the specified interface. A value of immediately(1) causes netmon to move the specified node to the front of the status poll queue so that the new status impacts the Event System and Topology database immediately. A set with a value greater than immediately(1) is interpretted as a time to schedule a status poll for the selected interface. The interface is rescheduled at a time equal to now + in seconds. This is useful for automated tests for eliminating the possibility that netmon will status poll nodes that the test is working on before the test is set up or in a different order then the test expects. The structure of this MIB table suggests that the value is stored in netmon on a per interface basis. This could happen at a later date but is initially implemented as a interface-independent global. For reliable operation, this MIB variable should be specified as a var-bind preceding objStatus in a multi-var-bind SNMP Set request.

What is takeEffectWhen?

This read-write value controls when a value written to objStatus actually propagates to netmon's Event System and Topology database: atNextStatusPoll(0) delays the effect until netmon's regular poll cycle reaches that interface, immediately(1) moves the interface to the front of the poll queue so the change applies right away, and any larger value schedules a poll that many seconds in the future. Admins or test automation use this to control the timing precision of simulated status changes. For reliable behavior it must be included as the var-bind preceding objStatus in the same multi-varbind SNMP set request.
