What is pmPolicyExecutionErrors?

Lifetime counter of how many times this policy's condition or action code has been terminated due to a run-time exception, useful for spotting a chronically buggy or misconfigured policy script.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.124.1.1.16
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> POLICY-BASED-MANAGEMENT-MIB::pmPolicyExecutionErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.124.1.1.16.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> POLICY-BASED-MANAGEMENT-MIB::pmPolicyExecutionErrors.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, SNMP-managed network devices/policy engines (RFC 4011) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the POLICY-BASED-MANAGEMENT-MIB::pmPolicyExecutionErrors OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, SNMP-managed network devices/policy engines (RFC 4011) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing POLICY-BASED-MANAGEMENT-MIB as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type pmPolicyExecutionErrors into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of times that execution of this policy's condition or action has been terminated due to run-time exceptions. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in errors), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
