Each entry in the oraNamesServerTable represents a given active Oracle Name Resolution Server on the node. Each entry is indexed by applIndex. (For details about applIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Implemented Variables of the Network Services MIB.") The current value of each oraNamesServerTable variable is retrieved from internal tables of this Oracle Names server.
Table D - 3 lists each of the variables implemented in this release, together with its corresponding object ID.

Table D - 3. oraNamesServerTable Variables and Corresponding Object IDs
A description of each of these variables follows.
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of query requests received by this server. Serves as an indicator of the overall load on this server. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | very important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerLastNnamesNotFound, oraNamesServerQueriesTotalTime |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | TimeTicks |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the total time spent processing query requests (in centiseconds), including the time it takes to forward the request and get an answer. In the current version (2.2), this represents all of the server's primary activity. When delete/rename/update are supported, this variable describes the query processing load relative to the load from requests of the other three types. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 centiseconds |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerQueriesReceived |
| Suggested Presentation | simple string |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of corrupted messages this server has received. A corrupt message indicates either that a bug exists in the client or network transport, or that the caller does not intend to be calling an Oracle Names server (wrong number). The second cause is more likely, and indicates configuration inconsistencies. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | very important |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of responses of all sorts this server has sent. This variable is a good general indicator of the cumulative load. The number of responses should equal the sum of the requests received. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | very important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerDeletesReceived, oraNamesServerQueriesReceived, oraNamesServerRenamesReceived |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of alias loops this server has detected. Alias loops are the result of improperly defined sets of domain data in two or more regions. Any alias loops should be corrected immediately. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 10 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | none |
| Suggested Presentation | warning light for any non-zero value. |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the query load (number of name lookup operations) this server has performed. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | very important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerCreatedOnLookup, oraNamesSeerverExactMatches oraNamesServerLookupFailures |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of names created on lookup because they were not found. Cache entries are created whenever the server receives a query for a certain name for the first time. This value represents the degree of diversity of queries to foreign regions. Higher values might indicate the need for tuning. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerLookupsAttempted |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of name lookups for a name not known to this server. Frequent lookup failures might indicate configuration inconsistencies, in that clients are looking for names in undefined domains. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerLookupsAttempted |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the "hit rate," that is the number of name lookups resulting in an exact match with information known to this server. This value includes both queries for local region data and queries for foreign names which have already been cached. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerLookupsAttempted, oraNamesServerLookupFailures |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of forwarded requests which failed because no servers responded to the request. A high value indicates either that the names servers for some other regions are down, or that this server's topology data is incorrect. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerRequestsForwarded |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter with siren |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of requests this server has forwarded which timed out waiting for a response. The cause might either be a high processing load at the foreign server, or some network-related delay. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerRequestsForwarded |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter with siren |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of responses this server has received. This value should match the number of requests forwarded, minus oraNamesServerForwardFailures and oraNamesServerForwardTimeouts. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerRequestsForwarded |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of requests that this server has forwarded because it is not authoritative for the requested name. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesServerForwardFailure, oraNamesServerForwardTimeout, oraNamesServerErrorResponsesReceived |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter |
| Syntax | Counter32 |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates the number of times this server has failed in a check to see whether the region data changed and needs reloading. Indicates that the source for this server's network definition is unavailable. These failures are likely to be innocuous, but could be the result of inaccurate configuration information for this Oracle Names server. |
| Typical Range | 0 - 4294967295 |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesConfigAdminRegion, oraNamesServerAdminRegionDescription |
| Suggested Presentation | rolling counter with siren |
| Syntax | DisplayString |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | Indicates this server's name, as printed in its start-up banner. |
| Typical Range | any valid server name |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | none |
| Suggested Presentation | simple string |
| Syntax | DisplayString |
| Max-Access | read-only |
| Explanation | This is a description that defines the server's region. It includes the region name and the location of its network definition. |
| Typical Range | any valid region name |
| Significance | important |
| Related Variables | oraNamesConfigAdminRegion |
| Suggested Presentation | simple string |
