Description: Monitors overall system health and component status on Blue Coat SG proxy appliances.
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 BLUECOAT-SG-HEALTHMONITOR-MIB?
This is a Blue Coat (Symantec/Broadcom) enterprise MIB for the SG series secure web proxy appliances, providing an overall health-monitoring summary of the device. It exposes a small set of objects reporting the appliance's aggregate health status and a descriptive message, along with a notification raised when the health condition changes. This MIB is explicitly designed for monitoring the software/hardware status of the appliance as a whole, giving a single "is everything OK" signal via deviceHealthMonStatus plus a human-readable explanation via deviceHealthMonMessage that can reflect underlying issues such as high load, disk, or component failures rolled up into one health indicator. It is a self-contained health-summary MIB with no explicit dependency on other MIBs indicated in the available data. Typical deployment is on Blue Coat SG proxy appliances in enterprise perimeter/web-security deployments where NOC teams want a simple health trap to alert on appliance-level problems. Engineers can download the BLUECOAT-SG-HEALTHMONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BLUECOAT-SG-HEALTHMONITOR-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
- Blue Coat SG series secure web proxy appliance
Monitoring Examples
An admin would poll deviceHealthMonStatus for the appliance's current overall health state and read deviceHealthMonMessage for a description of any detected problem. A deviceHealthMonMIBNotification trap firing with a message referencing high resource utilization or a component fault would prompt the admin to investigate further via other SG-specific MIBs or the appliance console. Because this MIB rolls health up into one status/message pair, it functions as a quick top-level alert rather than a source of granular per-component metrics.
What Can Be Monitored
- overall appliance health status
- health status change notifications
- health status descriptive message
