Description: The basic type of metric indicated by this entry.

The value 'other(1)' indicates that this metric cannot be characterized by any of the remaining enumerations specified for this object.

The value 'connectMetric(2)' indicates that this metric measures connectivity characteristics.

The value 'delayMetric(3)' indicates that this metric measures delay characteristics.

The value 'lossMetric(4)' indicates that this metric measures loss characteristics.

What is pmMetricType?

Reports the basic category of performance metric this entry represents: uncategorized (other), connectivity, delay, or loss. Admins use it to quickly classify a large set of available PM metrics without inspecting each one's full definition. A metric reporting delayMetric(3) tells the admin this entry measures some form of latency rather than packet loss or connectivity.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PMCAPS-MIB::pmMetricType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.25.1.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PMCAPS-MIB::pmMetricType.1
