mtaGroupHierarchy

Module: MTA-MIB

OID (symbolic): MTA-MIB::mtaGroupHierarchy

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.28.2.1.31

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Describes how this group fits into the hierarchy. A positive value is interpreted as an mtaGroupIndex value for some other group whose variables include those of this group (and usually others). A negative value is interpreted as a group collection code: Groups with common negative hierarchy values comprise one particular breakdown of MTA activity as a whole. A zero value means that this MIB implementation doesn't implement hierarchy indicators and thus the overall group hierarchy cannot be determined.

What is mtaGroupHierarchy?

Describes how this group fits into a larger hierarchy of groups: a positive value points to the index of a parent group whose totals include this one, a negative value marks a shared grouping scheme, and zero means the MTA doesn't expose hierarchy at all — an admin uses this to understand whether summing groups will double-count.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.28.2.1.31
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MTA-MIB::mtaGroupHierarchy

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.28.2.1.31.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MTA-MIB::mtaGroupHierarchy.1
