channelExtDropEvents

Module: PROBE-MIB

OID (symbolic): PROBE-MIB::channelExtDropEvents

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.6.1.5.7.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Description: The total number of events in which packets were dropped for all channels due to lack of resources in the probe. 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 channelExtDropEvents?

Counts how many times, across all channels, the probe had to drop packets due to a lack of internal resources; this counts drop *events*, not the number of packets actually dropped, so an admin should treat a rising value as a sign of undersized capture resources rather than an exact packet-loss tally.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.6.1.5.7.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PROBE-MIB::channelExtDropEvents

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.6.1.5.7.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PROBE-MIB::channelExtDropEvents.1
