hlMatrixControlNlDroppedFrames
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::hlMatrixControlNlDroppedFrames
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.15.1.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description:
The total number of frames which were received by the probe and therefore not accounted for in the *StatsDropEvents, but for which the probe chose not to count for this entry 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 nlMatrixTables are 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 hlMatrixControlNlDroppedFrames?
This object holds a running count of frames the probe received but deliberately discarded rather than analyze. Engineers watch this to detect when the probe runs out of resources and starts dropping frames, which means statistics become incomplete and unreliable. High values here indicate the probe is overwhelmed by traffic volume.
