SNMP processing statistics

SNMP processing statistics appear in the output of the sm_tpmgr utility and will be similar to the following:

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.
