Description: Monitors BlueArc (Hitachi Data Systems) NAS storage server performance, capacity, and service health.

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 BLUEARC-SERVER-MIB?

BLUEARC-SERVER-MIB is BlueArc's (later acquired by Hitachi Data Systems) proprietary MIB for monitoring its NAS (Network Attached Storage) server appliances, covering the vendor's private enterprise SNMP subtree for the BlueArc server product line. Per its stated purpose it is intended to expose performance, capacity, and service-health data for the storage server, though only its top-level object identifiers were captured here rather than the individual leaf/table objects beneath them. Because the underlying data objects are not available in the provided sample, the specific monitorable parameters cannot be honestly enumerated, but the module's stated scope indicates it would support hardware/software status monitoring such as storage capacity utilization and file-service availability. It is a self-contained vendor MIB rooted under BlueArc's private enterprise branch, without an apparent dependency captured here on other standard MIBs. Typical deployment context is a BlueArc/Hitachi NAS storage head unit in an enterprise data center, where BLUEARC-SERVER-MIB SNMP monitoring supports capacity planning and service-uptime tracking.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BLUEARC-SERVER-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

  • BlueArc/Hitachi Data Systems NAS storage servers

Monitoring Examples

Only the root nodes blueArc and blueArcPrivate were captured in the available sample objects, with no specific leaf or table objects beneath them, so a concrete monitoring scenario citing real object names cannot be constructed honestly; per the module's stated purpose, one would expect the private subtree to contain performance, storage-capacity, and file-service status objects for the NAS server.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using fcRequests OID:

Select a BlueArc (Hitachi Data Systems) NAS storage server (legacy) 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 fcRequests into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of requests issued through the fibre channel interface. 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 Counter64-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.
