aixPollEnable

Module: IBM-AIX-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Enables or disables polling. It may change the following polling interval variables: aixAgentPollInterval aixFsPollInterval aixCPUPollInterval aixVgPollInterval aixPagePollInterval aixLFPollInterval If one of the polling intervals above is non-zero, its value is 1(enable), otherwise its valuse is 2 (disable). If it is set to enable(1) and all polling intervals above are zero, aixAgentPollInterval will be set to 3600 seconds. If it is set to 1(enable) and one of the polling intervals is non-zero, the agent will not change anything. If it is set to disable (2), the polling functionality is disabled, and all polling intervals are set to zero.

What is aixPollEnable?

Master switch that enables or disables all AIX resource polling at once: setting enable(1) turns on polling (defaulting aixAgentPollInterval to 3600 seconds if every per-resource interval was still zero), while disable(2) zeroes out aixAgentPollInterval and every per-resource poll interval (Fs, CPU, Vg, Page, LF) to stop polling entirely.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixPollEnable

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixPollEnable.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.6.1 i <value>
