SNMP attributes

Use the SNMP attributes to monitor your network and network devices, whose function is governed by the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Management Information Base (MIB-II) detailed in RFC1213, for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets, establishes and defines the attributes of this group.

The SNMP attributes are available for the SNMP Data Provider.


Agent Name Identifies the SNMP host name relating to a particular sample of data. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters.

snmpEnableAuthenTraps Indicates whether the SNMP agent process is permitted to generate authentication-failure traps. The value of this object overrides any configuration information. It provides a means whereby you can disable all authentication-failure traps. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters. Possible values include:

1 = enabled

2 = disabled

snmpInASNParseErrs The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors encountered by the SNMP protocol entity when decoding received SNMP Messages. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInBadCommunityNames The total number of SNMP Messages delivered to the SNMP protocol entity that used an SNMP community name not known to said entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInBadCommunityUses The total number of SNMP Messages delivered to the SNMP protocol entity which represented an SNMP operation which was not allowed by the SNMP community named in the Message. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInBadValues The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is badValue. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInBadVersions The total number of SNMP Messages that were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and were for an unsupported SNMP version. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInGenErrs The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is genErr. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInGetNexts The total number of SNMP Get-Next PDUs that have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInGetRequests The total number of SNMP Get-Request PDUs that have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInGetResponses The total number of SNMP Get-Response PDUs that have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInNoSuchNames The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is noSuchName. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInPkts The total number of Messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport service. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInReadOnlys The total number valid SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is readOnly. It is a protocol error to generate an SNMP PDU that contains the value. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInSetRequests The total number of SNMP Set-Request PDUs that have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInTooBigs The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is tooBig. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInTotalReqVars The total number of MIB objects that have been retrieved successfully by the SNMP protocol entity as the result of receiving valid SNMP Get-Request and Get-Next PDUs. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInTotalSetVars The total number of MIB objects that have been altered successfully by the SNMP protocol entity as the result of receiving valid SNMP Set-Request PDUs. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpInTraps The total number of SNMP Trap PDUs that have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutBadValues The total number of SNMP PDUs that were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is badValue. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutGenErrs The total number of SNMP PDUs that were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is genErr. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutGetNexts The total number of SNMP Get-Next PDUs that have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutGetRequests The total number of SNMP Get-Request PDUs that have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutGetResponses The total number of SNMP Get-Response PDUs that have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutNoSuchNames The total number of SNMP PDUs that were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status is noSuchName. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutPkts The total number of SNMP Messages that were passed from the SNMP protocol entity to the transport service. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutSetRequests The total number of SNMP Set-Request PDUs that have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutTooBigs The total number of SNMP PDUs that were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is tooBig. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

snmpOutTraps The total number of SNMP Trap PDUs that have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.
