Some monitors produce values where a generic up/down label is not the main information users need. Examples include interface traffic counters and device uptime.

Scope:

  • Define status semantics for metric-only SNMP monitors.
  • For uptime, status should represent whether SNMP responded with usable uptime data; the uptime duration should be displayed as the value.
  • For interface traffic, status should represent whether counters are readable; current in/out throughput should be displayed as the value.
  • Preserve down/error status for failed collection or missing required data.
  • Keep alerting separate, so future alert rules can decide whether a value threshold matters.
