Description: The number of discrete sampling intervals over which data shall be saved in the part of the media-specific table associated with this snL4RealServerHistoryControlEntry. When the associated snL4RealServerHistoryControlBucketsRequested object is created or modified, the probe should set this object as closely to the requested value as is possible for the particular probe implementation and available resources.The probe must not lower this value except as a result of a modification to the associated snL4RealServerHistoryControlBucketsRequested object. There will be times when the actual number of buckets associated with this entry is less than the value of this object.In this case, at the end of each sampling interval, a new bucket will be added to the media-specific table. When the number of buckets reaches the value of this object and a new bucket is to be added to the media-specific table, the oldest bucket associated with this snL4RealServerHistoryControlEntry shall be deleted by the agent so that the new bucket can be added. When the value of this object changes to a value less than the current value, entries are deleted from the media-specific table associated with this snL4RealServerHistoryControlEntry.Enough of the oldest of these entries shall be deleted by the agent so that their number remains less than or equal to the new value of this object. When the value of this object changes to a value greater than the current value, the number of associated media- specific entries may be allowed to grow.
