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 BW-BroadworksApplicationServer?

BW-BroadworksApplicationServer is a BroadSoft (now Cisco) vendor MIB providing system management information for the BroadWorks Application Server, a core softswitch component that delivers hosted VoIP/UC subscriber services. Although the object list here is limited to conformance/compliance group placeholders, the module's role in the broader BroadWorks MIB family is to expose application-server operational and subscriber-service statistics for the platform. Its monitoring purpose centers on software/service status of the application server: process health, service-level statistics, and subscriber session/call activity that indicate whether hosted voice/UC services are being delivered correctly. It is part of a larger BroadSoft enterprise MIB suite and is typically used alongside sibling BroadWorks MIBs (e.g., for media/network servers) covering other elements of the platform. Deployment context is service-provider or enterprise hosted-UC/VoIP deployments running BroadWorks Application Server instances, monitored by the provider's OSS/NMS, which commonly opens the BW-BroadworksApplicationServer MIB Browser view for these checks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BW-BroadworksApplicationServer. 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

  • BroadSoft BroadWorks Application Server (hosted VoIP/UC softswitch platform)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would use the module's conformance groups (bwAsMibGroups) to determine which specific application-server status and statistics objects a given BroadWorks release implements, then poll those for subscriber service counts and server health. In practice this typically includes tracking active subscriber sessions or call-processing load on the Application Server to catch capacity exhaustion. A sustained rise in call-processing load without a corresponding increase in provisioned capacity would signal the need to scale out additional Application Server instances.

What Can Be Monitored

  • application server operational status
  • subscriber service statistics
  • compliance/conformance capability groups
  • call/session processing load (platform-dependent)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using bwMGCPStatsMGCPCommandOuts OID:

Select a BroadSoft application server 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 bwMGCPStatsMGCPCommandOuts into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This counter reflects the number of MGCP commands sent out by BroadWorks. 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.
