Description: Monitors Cisco IronPort web security appliances running AsyncOS, providing proxy transaction counts, URL filtering stats, and malware block rates.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is ASYNCOSWEBSECURITYAPPLIANCE-MIB?

This is an enterprise MIB for Cisco IronPort (AsyncOS) Web Security Appliances, a secure web gateway/proxy product line acquired by Cisco. It exposes proxy transaction statistics, URL filtering category counts, and malware/threat blocking statistics reflecting the appliance's content-security decisions. It supports monitoring both software behavior (policy enforcement effectiveness, block rates) and general appliance health, functioning as a software-status signal indicating whether the proxy is actively inspecting and correctly filtering traffic. As an enterprise-specific MIB it has no strong formal dependency on other standard MIBs, though it is typically polled alongside standard host-resource MIBs for full system health. It is deployed on Cisco IronPort/AsyncOS Web Security Appliances positioned as secure web gateways at the edge of enterprise networks. Engineers can download the ASYNCOSWEBSECURITYAPPLIANCE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ASYNCOSWEBSECURITYAPPLIANCE-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance (AsyncOS)

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were captured for this module, but a MIB of this kind would typically expose scalar/table counters (an asyncOsWsa*/ironPort* naming pattern) for total proxy transactions, malware-blocked transaction counts, and URL-category filtering hits. An administrator would monitor the malware-block-rate counter for an unexpected spike, indicating an active malware campaign targeting users, or monitor total transaction throughput to detect the proxy struggling under load.

What Can Be Monitored

  • proxy transaction counts
  • URL filtering category statistics
  • malware/threat block rate

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cacheClientRequests OID:

Select a Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance (WSA) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cacheClientRequests into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of HTTP requests received from clients. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
