mlmTimeSlice

Module: MLM-MIB

OID (symbolic): MLM-MIB::mlmTimeSlice

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.42.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: This variable controls the time-slice size for executing scripts. It works in conjunction with the mlmExecutionSpeed variable. After each timeout, each script is advanced by the number of instructions specified by this variable (or until blocked on a network request). If the value of this variable is negative, then all scripts will be advanced to completion, or until blocked on a network request.

What is mlmTimeSlice?

Sets how many script instructions are executed per timeout tick (working together with mlmExecutionSpeed), defaulting to 10; a negative value tells the MLM to run every active script to completion or until it blocks on a network request each tick instead of stepping it incrementally.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.42.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MLM-MIB::mlmTimeSlice

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.42.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MLM-MIB::mlmTimeSlice.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.99.42.1.4.1 i <value>
