hlHostControlAlDroppedFrames
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::hlHostControlAlDroppedFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.14.1.1.7
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of frames that were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the *StatsDropEvents, but that the probe chose not to count for the associated
alHost entries for whatever reason. Most often, this event occurs when the probe is out of some resources and decides to shed load from this collection.
This count does not include packets that were not counted because they had MAC-layer errors.
Note that if the alHostTable is not implemented or is inactive because no protocols are enabled in the protocol directory, this value should be 0.
Note that, unlike the dropEvents counter, this number is the exact number of frames dropped.
What is hlHostControlAlDroppedFrames?
This running count tallies frames dropped during application-layer host statistics collection due to memory or CPU limits. Growth here means your application-layer (Layer 7) host metrics are incomplete. Monitor this to confirm the probe has enough capacity for full application-layer analytics.
