CISCO-DEVICE-EXCEPTION-REPORTING-MIB

AI MIB Summary

The CISCO-DEVICE-EXCEPTION-REPORTING-MIB enables Cisco network devices to generate SNMP notifications for abnormal hardware and software service states, facilitating the transmission of administrator-defined or pre-configured exceptions to northbound Network Management Systems. This module serves as a standardized reporting mechanism for critical system anomalies, allowing external management applications to ingest and process alerts regarding component failures or service disruptions without defining the specific exception criteria itself.

This mib defines the SNMP objects to report exceptions to north-bound NMS. The devices implementing this MIB monitor the status of hardware and software services, and report any exceptions regarding these components. These hardware and software services could belong to the monitoring devices or other managed devices. An exception is something abnormal that the system administrators should pay attention to. The criteria for what is an exception could vary by system and should be defined by the system administrators. Certain NM devices or applications may have pre-defined exceptions. This MIB does not try to define exceptions. But rather it defines SNMP objects for devices to use SNMP notification as an exception reporting mechanism. Exceptions may be pre-defined or defined through other device management interface such as CLI, GUI, or HTTP.

cderMaxExceptionRecordsThe maximun number of records to keep in cderExceptionTable. New records will replace the old records on a first-in-first-out basis. A value of 0 indicates no history will be retained.rw

TruthValue (SNMPv2-TC)
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.224.1.1.2
cderNotificationsSentThe number of cderMonitoredExceptionEvent events. If a NMS is receiving notifications, it can periodically poll this object to find out if any notifications were missed. In that case it could poll cderExceptionTable to find out missing exceptions.ro
Counter32
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.224.1.1.3
cderNotificationsDroppedThe number of notifications dropped from the cderExceptionTable table. If the difference between two consecutive polls of this object is greater than cderMaxExceptionRecords, then it indicates the NMS will not be able to find missing exceptions. The solution is to either poll the cderExceptionTable more frequently or increase the size of the cderExceptionTable by setting cderMaxExceptionRecords.ro

cderExceptionTableThis table keeps an history of exceptions found.

cderExceptionEntryAn entry containing information about an exception.
CderExceptionEntry
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.224.1.1.5.1
cderExcepTableIndexAn monotonically increasing number for the sole purpose of indexing entries. When it reaches maximum value, the agent sets it back to 1.

cderExcepPriorityDescriptionA string that tells the system administrator about the priority of this exception.
