Description
The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled
for each bucket in the part of the media-specific table
associated with this historyControl entry. This interval can
be set to any number of seconds between 1 and 3600
(1 hour). Because the counters in a bucket may overflow
at their maximum value with no indication, a prudent
manager will take into account the possibility of overflow
in any of the associated counters. It is important to
consider the minimum time in which any counter could
overflow on a particular media type and set the
historyControlInterval object to a value less than this
interval. This is typically most important for the "octets"
counter in any media-specific table. For example, on an
Ethernet network, the etherHistoryOctets counter could
overflow in about one hour at the Ethernet's maximum
utilization. This object may not be modified if the
associated historyControlStatus object is equal to valid(1).
The entity that configured this entry and is therefore using
the resources assigned to it.
