Messages Flushed (clogHistMsgsFlushed)

Number of history table entries removed to make room for new entries. This object can be used to determine whether the polling frequency for the history table is fast enough and the size of the history table is large enough to prevent missed messages.

Messages Ignored (clogMsgIgnores)

Number of syslog messages which were ignored. A message is ignored when its severity value is greater than the value of clogMaxSeverity.

Messages Dropped (clogMsgDrops)

Number of syslog messages which were not processed due to a lack of system resources. An increase in the value of this object may indicate that system resource levels should be examined via other MIB objects. A dropped message does not appear in the history table, nor is notification sent.

Notifications Sent (clogNotificationsSent)

Number of clogMessageGenerated notifications that have been sent. This number may include notifications that were not transmitted due to resource limitations or a lack of connectivity. When receiving notifications, you can periodically poll this object to determine whether any notifications were missed. If so, a poll of the history table might be appropriate.
