pfCntCongestion
Module: OPENBSD-PF-MIB
OID (symbolic): OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfCntCongestion
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.2.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: The number of packets that were dropped due to congestion on the interface.
What is pfCntCongestion?
Counts packets dropped because the outbound network interface was congested (its send queue was full) rather than because of a filter rule. Persistent growth here points to link saturation or an undersized interface queue, not a firewall policy problem.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.2.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfCntCongestion
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.30155.1.2.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OPENBSD-PF-MIB::pfCntCongestion.1
