nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferUtilization

Module: NMS-MEMORY-POOL-MIB

OID (symbolic): NMS-MEMORY-POOL-MIB::nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferUtilization

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.48.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Percent

Access: read-only

Description: This is the message buffer of utilization

What is nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferUtilization?

This read-only Percent value reports how much of the allocated message buffer space is currently in use, as opposed to nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferRatio which measures the buffer's size against total device memory. Admins use rising message buffer utilization as an early sign of message queue backlog, which can indicate a control-plane process falling behind. For example, nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferUtilization spiking during a routing convergence event could explain slow protocol response times on the device.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.48.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> NMS-MEMORY-POOL-MIB::nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferUtilization

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11606.10.9.48.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> NMS-MEMORY-POOL-MIB::nmsMemoryPoolMessageBufferUtilization.1
