Description: Generic alert and event definition MIB for managing notification originator configuration and alert classification.
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 Alert-Definition-Originator-MIB?
Alert-Definition-Originator-MIB is a generic alert/event MIB, found under a Fujitsu enterprise branch, used to define and classify notification originator configuration for network/systems management alerts. It exposes basic alert metadata objects -- a device name, an alert message, an alert date/timestamp, and an alert severity classification -- for tagging and routing generic events into a management system. It functions purely as a fault/event-notification carrier: rather than reporting specific hardware sensors, it standardizes how any originating device or application reports an alert (what device raised it, what it says, when, and how severe it is), making it useful as a normalized trap wrapper across heterogeneous systems' hardware and software status reporting. It sits under Fujitsu's enterprise tree and references application/network sub-branches (aplNetwork, aplNetWinNT, aplNetPcSvrMgr), suggesting integration with Fujitsu's PC Server Manager and Windows NT network management tooling. It is typically deployed where Fujitsu systems-management agents forward arbitrary alerts into an SNMP-based monitoring console. Engineers can download the Alert-Definition-Originator-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Alert-Definition-Originator-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
- Fujitsu servers and systems-management agents
- vendor-neutral generic alert originators
Monitoring Examples
A monitoring console receives a trap carrying deviceName, alertMessage, alertDate, and alertSeverity to determine which device raised an alert, what the human-readable message says, and how urgent it is, without needing device-specific object definitions. Because the alert fields are generic, an admin correlates alertSeverity levels across many originating devices registered under the aplNetPcSvrMgr branch to build a unified alert dashboard.
What Can Be Monitored
- alerting device name
- alert message text
- alert timestamp
- alert severity level
