HC-PerfHist-TC-MIB file content

The SNMP protocol is used to for conveying information and commands between agents and managing entities. SNMP uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport protocol for passing data between managers and agents. The reasons for using UDP for SNMP are, firstly it has low overheads in comparison to TCP, which uses a 3-way hand shake for connection. Secondly, in congested networks, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea because TCP in order to maintain reliability will flood the network with retransmissions.

Management information (MIB) is represented as a collection of managed objects. These objects together form a virtual information base called MIB. An agent may implement many MIBs, but all agents must implement a particular MIB called MIB-II [16]. This standard defines variables for things such as interface statistics (interface speeds, MTU, octets sent, octets received, etc.) as well as various other things pertaining to the system itself (system location, system contact, etc.). The main goal of MIB-II is to provide general TCP/IP management information.

    DESCRIPTION
        "This MIB Module provides Textual Conventions to be
         used by systems supporting 15 minute based performance
         history counts that require high-capacity counts.

         Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2004).  This version
         of this MIB module is part of RFC 3705: see the RFC
         itself for full legal notices."

        REVISION "200402030000Z" -- February 3, 2004
        DESCRIPTION "Initial version, published as RFC 3705."

        ::= { mib-2 107 }

HCPerfValidIntervals ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION
       "The number of near end intervals for which data was

       collected.  The value of an object with an
       HCPerfValidIntervals syntax will be 96 unless the
       measurement was (re-)started within the last 1440 minutes,
       in which case the value will be the number of complete 15
       minute intervals for which the agent has at least some data.
       In certain cases (e.g., in the case where the agent is a
       proxy) it is possible that some intervals are unavailable.
       In this case, this interval is the maximum interval number
       for which data is available."
    SYNTAX   Integer32 (0..96)

HCPerfInvalidIntervals ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION
       "The number of near end intervals for which no data is
       available.  The value of an object with an
       HCPerfInvalidIntervals syntax will typically be zero except
       in cases where the data for some intervals are not available
       (e.g., in proxy situations)."
    SYNTAX   Integer32 (0..96)

HCPerfTimeElapsed ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION
       "The number of seconds that have elapsed since the beginning
       of the current measurement period.  If, for some reason,
       such as an adjustment in the system's time-of-day clock or
       the addition of a leap second, the duration of the current
       interval exceeds the maximum value, the agent will return
       the maximum value.

       For 15 minute intervals, the range is limited to (0..899).
       For 24 hour intervals, the range is limited to (0..86399)."
    SYNTAX   Integer32 (0..86399)

HCPerfIntervalThreshold ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS   current
    DESCRIPTION
        "This convention defines a range of values that may be set
        in a fault threshold alarm control.  As the number of
        seconds in a 15-minute interval numbers at most 900,
        objects of this type may have a range of 0...900, where the
        value of 0 disables the alarm."
    SYNTAX   Unsigned32 (0..900)

HCPerfCurrentCount ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION

        "A gauge associated with a performance measurement in a
         current 15 minute measurement interval.  The value of an
         object with an HCPerfCurrentCount syntax starts from zero
         and is increased when associated events occur, until the
         end of the 15 minute interval.  At that time the value of
         the gauge is stored in the first 15 minute history
         interval, and the gauge is restarted at zero.  In the case
         where the agent has no valid data available for the
         current interval, the corresponding object instance is not
         available and upon a retrieval request a corresponding
         error message shall be returned to indicate that this
         instance does not exist.

         This count represents a non-negative integer, which
         may increase or decrease, but shall never exceed 2^64-1
         (18446744073709551615 decimal), nor fall below 0.  The
         value of an object with HCPerfCurrentCount syntax
         assumes its maximum value whenever the underlying count
         exceeds 2^64-1.  If the underlying count subsequently
         decreases below 2^64-1 (due, e.g., to a retroactive
         adjustment as a result of entering or exiting unavailable
         time), then the object's value also decreases.

         Note that this TC is not strictly supported in SMIv2,
         because the 'always increasing' and 'counter wrap'
         semantics associated with the Counter64 base type are not
         preserved.  It is possible that management applications
         which rely solely upon the (Counter64) ASN.1 tag to
         determine object semantics will mistakenly operate upon
         objects of this type as they would for Counter64 objects.

         This textual convention represents a limited and short-
         term solution, and may be deprecated as a long term
         solution is defined and deployed to replace it."
    SYNTAX  Counter64

HCPerfIntervalCount ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION
        "A gauge associated with a performance measurement in
         a previous 15 minute measurement interval.  In the case
         where the agent has no valid data available for a
         particular interval, the corresponding object instance is
         not available and upon a retrieval request a corresponding
         error message shall be returned to indicate that this
         instance does not exist.

         Let X be an object with HCPerfIntervalCount syntax.

         Let Y be an object with HCPerfCurrentCount syntax.
         Let Z be an object with HCPerfTotalCount syntax.
         Then, in a system supporting a history of n intervals with
         X(1) and X(n) the most and least recent intervals
         respectively, the following applies at the end of a 15
         minute interval:

            - discard the value of X(n)
            - the value of X(i) becomes that of X(i-1)
              for n >= i > 1
            - the value of X(1) becomes that of Y.
            - the value of Z, if supported, is adjusted.

         This count represents a non-negative integer, which
         may increase or decrease, but shall never exceed 2^64-1
         (18446744073709551615 decimal), nor fall below 0.  The
         value of an object with HCPerfIntervalCount syntax
         assumes its maximum value whenever the underlying count
         exceeds 2^64-1.  If the underlying count subsequently
         decreases below 2^64-1 (due, e.g., to a retroactive
         adjustment as a result of entering or exiting unavailable
         time), then the value of the object also decreases.

         Note that this TC is not strictly supported in SMIv2,

         semantics associated with the Counter64 base type are not

         This textual convention represents a limited and short-

HCPerfTotalCount ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
    STATUS  current
    DESCRIPTION
        "A gauge representing the aggregate of previous valid 15
         minute measurement intervals.  Intervals for which no
         valid data was available are not counted.

         This count represents a non-negative integer, which
         may increase or decrease, but shall never exceed 2^64-1
         (18446744073709551615 decimal), nor fall below 0.  The
         value of an object with HCPerfTotalCount syntax
         assumes its maximum value whenever the underlying count

         exceeds 2^64-1.  If the underlying count subsequently
         decreases below 2^64-1 (due, e.g., to a retroactive
