SNMP agent net.if.discovery

Item prototypes for Network interfaces discovery

Name Description Type Key and additional info
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Operational status

MIB: IF-MIB

The current operational state of the interface.

- The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packet scan be passed

- If ifAdminStatus is down(2) then ifOperStatus should be down(2)

- If ifAdminStatus is changed to up(1) then ifOperStatus should change to up(1) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic

- It should change todormant(5) if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection)

- It should remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(1) state

- It should remain in the notPresent(6) state if the interface has missing(typically, hardware) components.

SNMP agent net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}]
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Bits received

MIB: IF-MIB

The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters. This object is a 64-bit version of ifInOctets. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

SNMP agent net.if.in[ifHCInOctets.{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Change per second
  • Custom multiplier: 8

Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Bits sent

MIB: IF-MIB

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters. This object is a 64-bit version of ifOutOctets.Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Inbound packets with errors

MIB: IF-MIB

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

SNMP agent net.if.in.errors[ifInErrors.{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Change per second
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Outbound packets with errors

MIB: IF-MIB

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

SNMP agent net.if.out.errors[ifOutErrors.{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Change per second
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Outbound packets discarded

MIB: IF-MIB

The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded

even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system,

and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

  • Change per second
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Interface type

MIB: IF-MIB

The type of interface.

Additional values for ifType are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA),

through updating the syntax of the IANAifType textual convention.

SNMP agent net.if.type[ifType.{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 1d

Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Speed

MIB: IF-MIB

An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in units of 1,000,000 bits per second. If this object reports a value of n' then the speed of the interface is somewhere in the range of n-500,000' to`n+499,999'. For interfaces which do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth. For a sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth, this object should be zero.

Trigger prototypes for Network interfaces discovery

Name Description Expression Severity Dependencies and additional info
Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Link down

This trigger expression works as follows:
1. It can be triggered if the operations status is down.
2. {$IFCONTROL:"{#IFNAME}"}=1 - a user can redefine context macro to value - 0. That marks this interface as not important. No new trigger will be fired if this interface is down.
3. {TEMPLATE_NAME:METRIC.diff()}=1 - the trigger fires only if the operational status was up to (1) sometime before (so, do not fire for the 'eternal off' interfaces.)

WARNING: if closed manually - it will not fire again on the next poll, because of .diff.
