SNMP processing statistics appear in the output of the sm_tpmgr utility and will be similar to the following:
Properties of ICIP_SNMPAccessorInterface::DEVSTAT-SNMP-Poller: CreationClassName = ICIP_SNMPAccessorInterface Name = DEVSTAT-SNMP-Poller ServiceName = V1_continue_poll_after_error = FALSE accessor_polling_defaults = { DEVSTAT-SNMP-Poller 10 30 0.7 3 FALSE } accessor_started = TRUE allow_on_demand_gets = FALSE avg_active_processing_time = 0.0273474 avg_get_time = 0.00417901 avg_idle_processing_time = 0 avg_late_polling = 17.1765 avg_lock_wait = 5.78108e-07 avg_request_size = 18 enableLoopback = TRUE gets_causing_request_percentage = 0 gets_from_cache_percentage = 100 instance_instrumentations = <unknown> max_active_processing_time = 480.587 max_get_time = 31.6418 max_idle_processing_time = 0 max_late_polling = 2413.21 max_lock_wait = 0.007118 min_get_time = 5.1e-05 nonV1_error_disables_poll = FALSE num_other_failures = 192189 num_threads = 10 num_timeouts = 794 on_demand_gets_percentage = 0 operation_size = 19 periodic_gets_per_second = 67.5847 periodic_gets_percentage = 100 piggybackAtStartup = FALSE piggybackEnabled = FALSE piggybackPerObject = FALSE polling_parameters = <unknown> suspendMonitoring = FALSE total_active_poll_actions = 6139795 total_get_nexts = 0 total_gets_from_cache = 9548443 total_instrumentation_get_requests = 12005267 total_on_demand_gets = 0 total_periodic_gets = 12005267 total_poll_actions = 6154195 total_repos_gets = 9548443
Look for these statistics to evaluate performance:
-
avg_get_time: The average time (seconds) that an SNMP get cycle takes on a per-thread basis (that is, the round-trip delay). The value varies based on the network configuration.
-
avg_late_polling: The amount of time (seconds) that the SNMP poller is falling behind.
-
avg_request_size: The average number of variable bindings in a get request. Higher values indicate more efficient polling.
-
num_threads: The number of polling threads.
-
periodic_gets_per_second: The actual throughput of the poller across all threads.
