rEtherHistoryDropEvents

Module: SWITCH-RMON-MIB

OID (symbolic): SWITCH-RMON-MIB::rEtherHistoryDropEvents

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.8886.6.1.22.2.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe due to lack of resources during this sampling interval. Note that this number is not necessarily the number of packets dropped, it is just the number of times this condition has been detected.

What is rEtherHistoryDropEvents?

This counter records how many times the probe dropped packets due to lack of resources during this specific sampling interval, mirroring rEtherStatsDropEvents but scoped to one historical bucket. A cluster of nonzero values across consecutive buckets suggests a sustained probe-resource shortage rather than a one-off blip.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.8886.6.1.22.2.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-RMON-MIB::rEtherHistoryDropEvents

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.8886.6.1.22.2.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-RMON-MIB::rEtherHistoryDropEvents.1
