What is outPkts?
outPkts is the aggregate count of outgoing packets across all Virtual Services on the load balancer. An admin compares this to inPkts at the device level to understand overall traffic symmetry across the whole load balancer. For example, an admin investigating a possible outage would check whether outPkts has dropped sharply relative to inPkts, indicating backend servers aren't responding.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.12196.12.5 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IPVS-MIB::outPkts
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.12196.12.5.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IPVS-MIB::outPkts.1
