What is pimStarGIEntries?

This object reports the total number of entries currently stored in the pimStarGITable, which tracks Protocol Independent Multicast (*,G) group-interface combinations. It provides a read-only counter that helps operators monitor the scale of multicast routes in the network and detect when multicast state is growing unexpectedly. Network administrators use this metric to assess multicast routing resource utilization and capacity planning.
