readOnly Errors
The total number of valid SNMP PDUs which were delivered to the SNMP
protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is ‘readOnly’. It
should be noted that it is a protocol error to generate a SNMP PDU which
contains the value ‘readOnly’ in the error-status field, as such this object is
provided as a means of detecting incorrect implementation of the SNMP. This
field displays the snmpInReadOnlys. A set operation tried to modify a variable
that is not included in the SNMP community profile (the combination of a
community name’s access mode — read only or read/write — with the subset of
MIB objects (view) defined for the community name.
genErr Errors
The total number of SNMP PDUs which were delivered to the SNMP protocol
entity and for which the value of the error-status field is genErr, according to the
snmpInGenErrs. A genErr is a general or generic error — one that does not fit any
of the four specific error types: tooBig, noSuchName, badValue, and readOnly.
Total Gets
The total number of MIB objects which have been retrieved successfully by the
SNMP protocol entity as the result of receiving valid SNMP Get-Requests and
Get-Next PDUs, according to snmpInTotalReqVars.
Total Set PDUs
The total number of MIB objects which have been altered successfully by the
SNMP protocol entity as the result of receiving valid SNMP Set-Requests PDUs,
according to snmpInTotalSetVars. This counter also includes valid Sets that fail. For
example, if you tried to Set a new device Name, but included a non-ASCII
character in the name, the Set would fail, and both the InSetRequests and
OutBadValues counters would increment.
Total Get-Request PDUs
The total number of SNMP Get-Request PDUs which have been accepted and
processed by the SNMP protocol entity, according to snmpInGetRequests. This
counter includes successful Get operations and valid Get operations that fail.
Total Get-Next PDUs
The total number of SNMP Get-Next PDUs which have been accepted and
processed by the SNMP protocol entity, according to snmpInGetNexts.
Total Set-Request PDUs
The total number of SNMP Set-Request PDUs which have been accepted and
processed by the SNMP protocol entity, according to snmpInSetRequests. This
counter includes successful Set operations and valid Set operations that fail.
Total Get-Response PDUs
The total number of SNMP Get-Response PDUs which have been accepted and
processed by the SNMP protocol entity, according to snmpInGetResponses.
