aixAgentPollInterval

Module: IBM-AIX-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBM-AIX-MIB::aixAgentPollInterval

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The poll interval(in seconds) used by the agent. The default value is zero. This value is used to define the minimum time interval during which the subagent must update an object's value, check if any events occurred and send a trap when an event occurs. If the value is zero, the polling depends on each seperate configuration variable such as aixFsPollInterval, aixVgPollInterval, etc. if it is not zero, The value can not be less than 5 seconds. If it is set to 1, 2, 3, or 4, the agent automatically sets the poll interval to 5. aixAgentPollInterval works together with the other variables such as aixFsPollInterval, aixCPUPollInterval, aixVgPollInterval, aixPagePollInterval, aixLFPollInterval to decide the final polling interval of each group. In /etc/aixmibd.conf file, this variable is corresponding to pollInterval. Originally, it is SYNTAX Integer32(0,6..2147483647), but IT Director MIB compiler does not accept this and it is changed to this.

What is aixAgentPollInterval?

Sets, in seconds (0-2147483647, default 0, minimum effective value 5), the general polling interval the AIX subagent uses to refresh object values and check for trap-worthy events; per-resource intervals like aixFsPollInterval or aixVgPollInterval override it for their own category when nonzero, and this maps to the pollInterval setting in /etc/aixmibd.conf.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixAgentPollInterval

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixAgentPollInterval.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.5.1 i <value>
