snmpSshtmSessionUserAuthFailures
Module: SNMP-SSH-TM-MIB
OID (symbolic): SNMP-SSH-TM-MIB::snmpSshtmSessionUserAuthFailures
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.189.1.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The number of times an openSession() request failed to open a session as an SSH client due to user-authentication failures.
What is snmpSshtmSessionUserAuthFailures?
This Counter32 counts the number of times an openSession() request failed specifically due to user-authentication failure after the SSH transport connection was already established. Admins use this to isolate credential problems — wrong username, password, or key — from lower-level connectivity issues, since the transport itself succeeded in these cases. For example, an admin seeing this counter increment after rotating SSH credentials on the far-end server would know the device's stored SNMP-over-SSH credentials need to be updated to match.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.189.1.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMP-SSH-TM-MIB::snmpSshtmSessionUserAuthFailures
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.189.1.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMP-SSH-TM-MIB::snmpSshtmSessionUserAuthFailures.1
