krNumOfContextSwitches

Module: KERNEL-READER-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB

OID (symbolic): KERNEL-READER-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB::krNumOfContextSwitches

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.12.5.4.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The rate of number of context switches. Number of context switches is calculated at different times which is either when refresh interval reaches or when the mannual refresh is issued. If at time T1 the value is X and at time T2 the value is Y then krNumOfContextSwitches = (Y - X)/(T2 - T1).

What is krNumOfContextSwitches?

Rate of context switches occurring on this CPU between samples; a sharply rising rate can indicate thread thrashing or excessive scheduling overhead relative to actual work done.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.12.5.4.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> KERNEL-READER-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB::krNumOfContextSwitches

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.12.5.4.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> KERNEL-READER-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB::krNumOfContextSwitches.1
