[opennms-devel] SNMP Perormance Graphs: TCP Errors and Failures - OutRsts

[Jesus M. S. Jr. <jes...@mi...>]

In the "TCP Errors and Failures" performance graph report, I have "OutRsts" 
consistently higher than the other data in that one graph. I know what is 
causing it ...   but my question is .... should OutRsts really be included in 
the "TCP Errors and Failures" graph performance report ? I mean ... is it 
really a TCP Error ?

According to RC 2012:

tcpOutRsts OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      Counter32
    MAX-ACCESS  read-only
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
            "The number of TCP segments sent containing the RST flag."
    ::= { tcp 15 }

Correct me if I am wrong, but that does not read like a TCP error to me.
