| Description | Controls the setup of counter aggregation groups for this
agent.
If this object contains the value 'true', then write access
to the objects in the dsmonAggControlTable (except the
dsmonAggControlOwner object), dsmonAggProfileTable, and
dsmonAggGroupTable is not permitted, and data collection is
possible. This object only controls write access to these
MIB objects. The DSMON data collection control tables
(e.g., dsmonHostCtlTable) can be configured at any time,
regardless of the value of this object.
If this object contains the value 'false', write access to
the objects in the dsmonAggControlTable,
dsmonAggProfileTable, and dsmonAggGroupTable is permitted,
and data collection is not possible. In addition, all
objects in all DSMON data tables (e.g., dsmonStatsTable)
shall be deleted.
An agent is not required to process SNMP Set Requests for
this object in conjunction with other objects from this MIB.
This is intended to simplify the processing of Set Requests
for tables such as the dsmonAggProfileTable, by eliminating
the possibility that a single Set PDU will contain multiple
varbinds which are in conflict, such as a PDU which both
modifies the dsmonAggProfileTable and locks the
dsmonAggProfileTable at the same time.
Note that the agent is not required to validate the entire
counter aggregation configuration when an attempt is made to
transition an instance of this object from 'true' to
'false'. That validation is done if and when a DSMON data
collection is activated.
An agent is required to reactivate any suspended data
collections when this object transitions to 'true', Each
active data control entry (e.g., dsmonStatsControlEntry),
will be validated with respect to the new counter
aggregation configuration. If the counter aggregation
profile referenced in the data collection is valid, then
that collection will be restarted. Otherwise, the RowStatus
object (e.g., dsmonStatsControlStatus) will be set to
'notReady' for that collection control entry. |
