numBytesFree

Module: PRVT-SYS-INFO-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-SYS-INFO-MIB::numBytesFree

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.111.2.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of bytes free in the system memory

What is numBytesFree?

The number of bytes currently free in the device's system memory. Polled as part of routine health monitoring to catch a memory leak before the device runs out of memory entirely.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.111.2.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SYS-INFO-MIB::numBytesFree

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.111.2.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-SYS-INFO-MIB::numBytesFree.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> numBytesFree.1

Start monitoring BATM/Telco Systems networking device (system identity/hardware-software version) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PRVT-SYS-INFO-MIB::numBytesFree OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any BATM/Telco Systems networking device (system identity/hardware-software version) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a BATM/Telco Systems networking device (system identity/hardware-software version) 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 numBytesFree into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of bytes free in the system memory. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drops well below its normal baseline, since a shrinking free-memory margin often precedes performance degradation or an out-of-memory condition. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
