tcaSampleType

Module: TCAv1-MIB

OID (symbolic): TCAv1-MIB::tcaSampleType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.148.1.5.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The value of this object is the sample type of the counter object being thresholded from the perspective of the CNM or XA-OM customer. All counters are thresholded over a 15-minute interval. However, over this 15-minute interval the threshold value may be an absolute value (e.g., used for interval counters) or a delta value (e.g., used for continuous counters). The intervals are measured locally at the agent, and are not visible to the manager. At the agent's local interval boundary, all threshold crossing measurements are reset to zero. (A counter value may cross the predefined threshold and a TCA is sent only once within a 15-minute interval.)

What is tcaSampleType?

This object indicates whether the threshold for the monitored counter is evaluated as an absolute value or as a delta (change) over each locally measured 15-minute interval. Admins need this to correctly interpret whether a threshold crossing means the counter's raw value exceeded a limit, or that it changed by more than a set amount within that interval. For example, intervalDeltaValue(2) would apply to a continuously incrementing error counter where a TCA fires only if the count increases too fast within a 15-minute window.
