hlHostControlAlInserts
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::hlHostControlAlInserts
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.14.1.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description:
The number of times an alHost entry has been inserted into the alHost table. If an entry is inserted, then deleted, and then inserted, this counter will be incremented by 2.
To allow for efficient implementation strategies, agents may delay updating this object for short periods of time. For example, an implementation strategy may allow internal data structures to differ from those visible via SNMP for short periods of time. This counter may reflect the internal data structures for those short periods of time.
Note that the table size can be determined by subtracting hlHostControlAlDeletes from hlHostControlAlInserts.
What is hlHostControlAlInserts?
This running count increments when a new application-layer host (e.g., a unique application client or service) is first detected and entered into the host table. Track it to see how application diversity evolves on your network. A spike in this counter could signal new applications or services going live.
