syslogMsgTableMaxSize
Module: SYSLOG-MSG-MIB
OID (symbolic): SYSLOG-MSG-MIB::syslogMsgTableMaxSize
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.1.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Unsigned32
Access: read-write
Description: The maximum number of SYSLOG messages that may be held in syslogMsgTable. A particular setting does not guarantee that there is sufficient memory available for the maximum number of table entries indicated by this object. A value of 0 means no fixed limit.
If an application reduces the limit while there are SYSLOG messages in the syslogMsgTable, the SYSLOG messages that are in the syslogMsgTable for the longest time MUST be discarded to bring the table down to the new limit.
The value of this object should be kept in nonvolatile memory.
What is syslogMsgTableMaxSize?
Sets the maximum number of SYSLOG messages the device will hold in its syslogMsgTable at once, with 0 meaning no fixed limit. Admins tune this to balance how much recent log history is available via SNMP against the memory it consumes, knowing that reducing the limit discards the oldest stored messages first. Setting syslogMsgTableMaxSize to 500 keeps only the most recent 500 syslog messages queryable over SNMP, discarding older ones as new messages arrive.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYSLOG-MSG-MIB::syslogMsgTableMaxSize
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYSLOG-MSG-MIB::syslogMsgTableMaxSize.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.1.1.1 i <value>
