MRTG-MIBHELP

NAME

mrtg−mibhelp − A Table of some interesting OIDs

OVERVIEW

This File Contains a collection of interesting MIB Entries ... mrtg knows about their names ... depending on the ASN .1 Syntax you may have to put gauge into the Options[]: parameter.

For information about how to create a Target[]: parameter which references these MIB entries, please consult mrtg-reference.

MIB LIST

ifOperStatus

Descriptor:            ifOperStatus
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8
ASN.1 Syntax:          INTEGER
Enumeration:           up 1, down 2, testing 3

The current operational state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.

ifAdminStatus

Descriptor:            ifAdminStatus
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7
ASN.1 Syntax:          INTEGER
Enumeration:           up 1, down 2, testing 3

The current administrative state of the interface. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.

ifInOctets

Descriptor:            ifInOctets
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.

ifInUcastPkts

Descriptor:            ifInUcastPkts
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

ifInNUcastPkts

Descriptor:            ifInNUcastPkts
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.12
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of non-unicast (i.e., subnetwork− broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.

ifInDiscards

Descriptor:            ifInDiscards
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of inbound 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.

ifInErrors

Descriptor:            ifInErrors
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

ifInUnknownProtos

Descriptor:            ifInUnknownProtos
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.15
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

ifOutOctets

Descriptor:            ifOutOctets
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.

ifOutUcastPkts

Descriptor:            ifOutUcastPkts
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were discarded or not sent.

ifOutNUcastPkts

Descriptor:             ifOutNUcastPkts
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.18
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a non− unicast (i.e., a subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.

ifOutDiscards

Descriptor:             ifOutDiscards
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.19
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

ifOutErrors

Descriptor:             ifOutErrors
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.20
ASN.1 Syntax:          Counter32

The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.

ifOutQLen

Descriptor:             ifOutQLen
Identifier:            1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.21
ASN.1 Syntax:          Unsigned32

The length of the output packet queue (in packets).

frInOctets
From: Simon Ferrett <simonf@world.net>

'frInOctets' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32.2.1.9'
'frOutOctets' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.10.32.2.1.7'

which when used in the form:

frInOctets.pp.dd&frOutOctets.pp.dd:community@cisco.router

where pp is the physical port that the frame relay pvc is defined on and dd is the DLCI of the pvc gets you the in and out octets for just that pvc.

ifAdminHack and ifOperHack
The return values of ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus are not very useful for graphing. Use ifOperHack and ifAdminHack instead. They return 1 for UP and 0 otherwise.

Note these are not real MIB entities but mrtg hacks

PseudoZero and PseudoOne
will return 0 and 1 respectively

Note these are not real MIB entities but mrtg hacks

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
