memAvailSwapTXT

Module: UCD-SNMP-MIB

OID (symbolic): UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwapTXT

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Description: The amount of swap space or virtual memory currently being used by text pages on this host.

This object will not be implemented on hosts where the underlying operating system does not distinguish text pages from other uses of swap space or virtual memory.

Note that (despite the name), this value reports the amount used, rather than the amount free or available for use. For clarity, this object is being deprecated in favour of 'memUsedSwapTXT(16).

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwapTXT

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwapTXT.1
