Description:
The total number valid SNMP PDUs which were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field was `readOnly'. It should be noted that it is a protocol error to generate an SNMP PDU which contains the value `readOnly' in the error-status field, as such this object is provided as a means of detecting incorrect implementations of the SNMP.
What is snmpInReadOnlys?
This is a running count of attempts to change read-only settings that cannot be modified. It catches buggy tools trying to write to protected values. High counts indicate misconfigured SNMP automation or tools using outdated device profiles.
