rdnSyslogSize

Module: RDN-SYSLOG-MIB

OID (symbolic): RDN-SYSLOG-MIB::rdnSyslogSize

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.4981.3.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: Current size in bytes of the syslog file.

What is rdnSyslogSize?

Reports the current size, in bytes, of the device's local syslog file. Admins monitor this against rdnSyslogMaxSize to see how close the log is to filling up and needing rotation or manual clearing. A device showing rdnSyslogSize near its configured rdnSyslogMaxSize would prompt an admin to review and clear old log entries before new messages start getting dropped.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4981.3.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RDN-SYSLOG-MIB::rdnSyslogSize

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.4981.3.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RDN-SYSLOG-MIB::rdnSyslogSize.1

Start monitoring Motorola BSR CMTS cable headend (syslog severity filtering/remote server configuration) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the RDN-SYSLOG-MIB::rdnSyslogSize OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Motorola BSR CMTS cable headend (syslog severity filtering/remote server configuration) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Motorola BSR CMTS cable headend (syslog severity filtering/remote server configuration) 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 rdnSyslogSize into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the current size in bytes of the syslog file. 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 drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
