What is velocitySystemContext?

Counts the total number of context switches the system has performed since boot; an unusually high rate can point to excessive process/thread contention for CPU time.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.15601.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VELOCITY-MIB::velocitySystemContext

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.15601.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VELOCITY-MIB::velocitySystemContext.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> velocitySystemContext.1
