mib Provider - Oracle Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide

`mib` Provider

The mib provider makes available probes that correspond to counters in the Oracle Solaris management information bases (MIBs). MIB counters are used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP) that allow remote monitoring of heterogeneous networking entities. You can also view the counters with the kstat(1M) and netstat(1M) commands. The mib provider facilitates quick exploration of aberrant networking behavior that is observed using either remote or local networking monitors.

Probes

The mib provider makes available probes for counters from several MIBs. The protocols that export MIBs instrumented by the mib provider are listed in Table 11-10. The table includes a reference to documentation that specifies some or all of the MIB, the name of the kernel statistic that may be used to access the running counts (using the kstat(1M) -n statistic option), and a reference to the table that has a complete definition of the probes. All MIB counters are also available through the -s option to netstat(1M).

`udpInOverflows`	Probe that fires whenever a UDP datagram is received, but subsequently dropped due to lack of buffer space.
`udpNoPorts`	Probe that fires whenever a UDP datagram is received on a port to which no socket is bound.
`udpOutDatagrams`	Probe that fires whenever a UDP datagram is sent.
`udpOutErrors`	Probe that fires whenever a UDP datagram is not sent due to some error condition, typically because the datagram was malformed in some way.

Arguments

The sole argument for each mib probe has the same semantics: args[0] contains the value with which the counter is to be incremented. For most mib probes, args[0] always contains the value 1, but for some probes args[0] may take arbitrary positive values. For these probes, the meaning of args[0] is noted in the probe description.

Stability

The mib provider uses DTrace's stability mechanism to describe its stabilities, as shown in the following table. For more information about the stability mechanism, see Chapter 18, Stability.
