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-BroadworksResourceAccess?

BW-BroadworksResourceAccess is a BroadSoft (now part of Cisco) enterprise MIB for the BroadWorks unified communications platform, specifically for its Resource Access server component that governs feature and resource licensing/authorization. It is defined mainly as a conformance-oriented module, exposing MIB groups and a compliance statement rather than a rich set of runtime data objects directly visible in the provided sample. Where implemented in the full MIB, it is used to monitor the software-level health of license/resource usage on the platform, such as whether resource access checks are succeeding, which matters for confirming subscribers can obtain authorized features. It is part of the broader BroadWorks MIB family and depends on other BroadWorks MIBs for the actual performance counters it groups together. It is deployed on BroadWorks Application Server / Resource Access Server nodes in service-provider hosted VoIP/UC environments. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the BW-BroadworksResourceAccess file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BW-BroadworksResourceAccess. 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/Cisco BroadWorks Application Server or Resource Access Server

Monitoring Examples

The sample objects available (bwResourceAccessMibGroups, bwResourceAccessMibCompliancy) are conformance/compliance definitions rather than runtime data objects, so this module itself does not directly expose pollable counters in the given sample; it defines which object groups an agent must implement to claim compliance. Actual resource-access performance data would live in companion BroadWorks performance MIBs referenced by these groups. Administrators would use this module to verify agent compliance rather than to poll live resource-access metrics directly.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using bwFileGets OID:

Select a BroadSoft BroadWorks VoIP/UC 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 bwFileGets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This counter reflects the number of times the application gets a file from the file repository. 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.
