nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType

Module: NMS-IF-THRESHOLD-MIB

OID (symbolic): NMS-IF-THRESHOLD-MIB::nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.218.1.1.3.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-create

Description: This object specifies the method used to prevent an excess of notifications from being generated when operation fluctuates around a threshold level.

The value 'holdDownTimer' indicates that notifications for a given threshold and interface are suppressed for a short amount of time after each notification. The time value is specified in nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownTime, which is instantiated only when this object is set to 'holdDownTimer'. After a notification is received for a given threshold and interface, the next notification for that threshold and interface will be generated after at least nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownTime amount of time has passed, only when the threshold is next fired or cleared.

The value 'fireAndClearThresholds' indicates that hysteresis is used. The management client configures two values for each threshold: one for asserting that the threshold has been exceeded (see nmsifthThresholdFiredValue), and a second value for asserting that the threshold is no longer being exceeded (see nmsifthThresholdClearedValue, which is instantiated only when this object is set to 'fireAndClearThresholds').

When this entry in nmsifthTemplateTable is active, this object may only be modified if there are no active entries in nmsifthThresholdTable with the same value of nmsifthTemplateIndex.

What is nmsifthTemplateNotifyHoldDownType?

Chooses how the template suppresses repeated notifications when a threshold flaps: a holdDownTimer that rate-limits notifications, or fireAndClearThresholds hysteresis with separate fire and clear values. An admin picks fireAndClearThresholds when they want distinct rising/falling trigger points to avoid alert flapping around a single value.
