rtpSessionSenderJoins

Module: RTP-MIB

OID (symbolic): RTP-MIB::rtpSessionSenderJoins

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of senders that have been observed to have joined the session since this conceptual row was created

(rtpSessionStartTime). A sender 'joins' an RTP session by sending to it. Senders that leave and then re-join following an RTCP BYE (see RFC 1889, 'RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications,' sec. 6.6) or session timeout may be counted twice. Every time a new RTP sender is detected either using RTP or RTCP, this counter is incremented.

What is rtpSessionSenderJoins?

Counts how many distinct senders have joined this session since it started, incrementing each time a new RTP sender is first detected via RTP or RTCP; a sender that leaves and rejoins after a BYE or timeout can be counted twice.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RTP-MIB::rtpSessionSenderJoins

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.87.1.3.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RTP-MIB::rtpSessionSenderJoins.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, VoIP gateways/media servers/RTP monitoring probes with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the RTP-MIB::rtpSessionSenderJoins OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, VoIP gateways/media servers/RTP monitoring probes from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing RTP-MIB 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 rtpSessionSenderJoins into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of senders that have been observed to have joined the session since this conceptual row was created (rtpSessionStartTime). 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
