What is icmpStatsInMsgs?
This counter tracks the total number of ICMP messages received by the entity, including both valid messages and those with errors. An operator uses this to monitor overall ICMP traffic volume and, combined with error counters, assess the health of control-plane messaging. Sudden changes in this counter can indicate network problems or attacks.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
