Module: NMS-IF-THRESHOLD-MIB
OID (symbolic): NMS-IF-THRESHOLD-MIB::nmsifthThresholdType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.218.1.1.5.1.5
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-create
Description: The manner in which to compare nmsifthThresholdObject to nmsifthThresholdFiredValue and nmsifthThresholdClearedValue.
The value 'absoluteValue' indicates that the value of nmsifthThresholdObject is to be compared directly to nmsifthThresholdFiredValue or nmsifthThresholdClearedValue.
The value 'deltaValue' indicates that the difference between two successive samples of nmsifthThresholdObject is to be compared to nmsifthThresholdFiredValue or nmsifthThresholdClearedValue. The polling interval between successive samples is defined in nmsifthThresholdSampleInterval.
The value 'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed' indicates that the rate of increase of nmsifthThresholdObject is to be compared to the negated value of nmsifthThresholdFiredValue used as the exponent of 10, times the value of ifSpeed (if the value of ifSpeed is less than the maximum value) or ifHighSpeed (otherwise). For example, a value of nmsifthThresholdFiredValue of 5 on a gigabit ethernet interface indicates a threshold of 10^-5 times the interface speed, which is equal to 10,000 per second. When the value of this object is 'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed', the polling interval between successive samples is determined automatically by the agent.
When the object identified by nmsifthThresholdObject is a counter, a threshold type of 'deltaValue' or 'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed' should be used. When the object identified by nmsifthThresholdObject is not a counter, a threshold type of 'absoluteValue' should be used.
What is nmsifthThresholdType?
Chooses how the monitored object's value is compared against the fired/cleared thresholds: as an absolute value, as the delta between samples, or as a rate of increase relative to interface speed. An admin picks deltaValue or rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed for counters like ifInOctets, and absoluteValue for gauges.
