slapmPolicyCountQueries

Module: SLAPM-MIB

OID (symbolic): SLAPM-MIB::slapmPolicyCountQueries

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.88.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of times that a policy lookup occurred with respect to a policy agent. This is the number of times that a reference was made to a policy definition at a system and includes the number of times that a policy repository was accessed, slapmPolicyCountAccesses. The object slapmPolicyCountAccesses should be less than slapmPolicyCountQueries when policy definitions are cached at a system.

What is slapmPolicyCountQueries?

Counts how many times a policy lookup was performed against a policy agent on this system, whether or not that lookup required an actual repository access. Comparing this counter to slapmPolicyCountAccesses shows how effectively policy definitions are being cached locally rather than re-fetched.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.88.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SLAPM-MIB::slapmPolicyCountQueries

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.3.88.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SLAPM-MIB::slapmPolicyCountQueries.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, SLA-aware routers/switches and performance monitoring probes (SLA policy vs. threshold status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SLAPM-MIB::slapmPolicyCountQueries OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, SLA-aware routers/switches and performance monitoring probes (SLA policy vs. threshold status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing SLAPM-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 slapmPolicyCountQueries into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of times that a policy lookup occurred with respect to a policy agent. 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.
