Description: The total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe due to lack of resources during this sampling interval. Note that this number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped, it is just the number of times this condition has been detected.

What is etherHistoryDropEvents?

Counts, for this specific historical sampling interval, how many times the probe dropped packets on this port due to lack of resources -- the historical, per-bucket counterpart to the live etherStatsDropEvents. Reviewing this across successive buckets shows whether resource-drop events are a one-time blip or a recurring pattern.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.25.3.35.20.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> OPTIX-RMON-MIB::etherHistoryDropEvents

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.2.25.3.35.20.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> OPTIX-RMON-MIB::etherHistoryDropEvents.1
