Description

This article explains what the multiple lines in the output for OID jnxRpmResSumPercentLost mean.

Note: The explanation in this article holds good both when OID is polled externally from a monitoring tool or when it is run locally on the device via Junos CLI. Here, we provide an explanation by locally running the command for the above OID.

 

Solution

The percentage of probes that are lost within the collection can be obtained by using OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.50.1.2.1.4 (jnxRpmResSumPercentLost).

The command show snmp mib walk 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.50.1.2.1.4 returns three lines in the output as shown below. Here is what each of these means: 

root@EX4200> show snmp mib walk 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.50.1.2.1.4 

jnxRpmResSumPercentLost.5.111.119.110.101.114.4.116.101.115.116.1 = 20  <-- Results over current test
jnxRpmResSumPercentLost.5.111.119.110.101.114.4.116.101.115.116.2 = 60  <-- Results over last test
jnxRpmResSumPercentLost.5.111.119.110.101.114.4.116.101.115.116.4 = 40  <-- Results over all tests

You can also run the command show services rpm probe-results to understand this in more detail. The probes are sent periodically at a set time with a predefined test size of 10 probes.

The output here shows three results each for the current test, for the last test, and over all tests. 

root@EX4200> show services rpm probe-results
