| Description | The manner in which to compare nmsifthThresholdObject to
nmsifthThresholdFiredValue and nmsifthThresholdClearedValue.
The value 'absoluteValue' indicates that the value of
nmsifthThresholdObject is to be compared directly to
nmsifthThresholdFiredValue or nmsifthThresholdClearedValue.
The value 'deltaValue' indicates that the difference between
two successive samples of nmsifthThresholdObject is to be
compared to nmsifthThresholdFiredValue or
nmsifthThresholdClearedValue. The polling interval between
successive samples is defined in nmsifthThresholdSampleInterval.
The value 'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed' indicates that the
rate of increase of nmsifthThresholdObject is to be compared to
the negated value of nmsifthThresholdFiredValue used as the
exponent of 10, times the value of ifSpeed (if the value of
ifSpeed is less than the maximum value) or ifHighSpeed
(otherwise). For example, a value of nmsifthThresholdFiredValue
of 5 on a gigabit ethernet interface indicates a threshold of
10^-5 times the interface speed, which is equal to 10,000 per
second. When the value of this object is
'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed', the polling interval between
successive samples is determined automatically by the agent.
When the object identified by nmsifthThresholdObject is a
counter, a threshold type of 'deltaValue' or
'rateOfIncreaseExponentXIfSpeed' should be used. When the
object identified by nmsifthThresholdObject is not a counter, a
threshold type of 'absoluteValue' should be used. |
