ifInDiscards. List the number of inbound packets, on the selected interface, that
were discarded though no errors were detected to prevent their transmission. One
possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space. The
associated OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.13.
ifOutDiscards. List the number of outbound packets, on the selected interface,
that were discarded though no errors were detected to prevent their transmission.
One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
The associated OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.19.
Note: All of the above OIDs point to values of type "counter," and therefore their raw value
by itself is not meaningful. The difference between the values obtained from two
consecutive polls provides meaningful data.
Important: The Interface Utilization option must be enabled for each device for which you
want to Enable errors and discards data collection through a bulk field change. You can
select the Interface Utilization option in the Device Properties > Performance Monitors
properties dialog for each device. For more information, see Configure Interface Data
Collection (on page 822).
(No Change). Select this option to retain the current performance monitor settings
for device interface utilization.
(Yes). Select this option to enable errors and discards data collection on the selected
interface.
(No). Select this option to disable errors and discards data collection on the selected
interface.
Custom Performance Monitors
On the WhatsUp Gold web interface, you can also modify custom performance monitors that
you add to the Performance Monitor Library using Bulk Field Change.
For each custom performance monitor listed, select a value for Collect data for and specify
how often (in minutes) you want to collect data in the Data collection interval (mins) field.
Note: Only global custom performance monitors can be modified with Bulk Field Change.
Custom performance monitors created directly on a device (and, therefore, not included in
the Performance Monitor Library), cannot be modified by Bulk Field Change.
