What Is CADANT-CMTS-PC-EVENTMSG-MIB?
CADANT-CMTS-PC-EVENTMSG-MIB is an ARRIS/Cadant enterprise MIB for the C4 CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System), managing PacketCable Event Messaging used to generate and deliver billing/call-detail records for VoIP and other PacketCable services. It exposes configuration objects controlling how event messages are batched and transmitted (cadEvMsgMaxAge, cadEvMsgRetransTimer, cadEvMsgMaxRetry, cadEvMsgMaxBatchSize) plus a table scheduling time-of-day transmission windows (cadEvMsgTransTimeTable/Entry). It is used to monitor and configure the software-level health of the event-message delivery pipeline — whether the feature is enabled (cadEvMsgEnableFlag), its retry/retransmission behavior, and per-schedule transmission status — ensuring billing records reliably reach the record-keeping server, effectively an operational-status check on a revenue-critical subsystem rather than a physical hardware sensor. It depends on the CableLabs PacketCable Event Messaging specification for the event message format and delivery semantics it configures. It is typically deployed on ARRIS/Cadant C4 CMTS platforms in cable/MSO networks that must generate billing/CDR data for PacketCable VoIP services. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CADANT-CMTS-PC-EVENTMSG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CADANT-CMTS-PC-EVENTMSG-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
- ARRIS/Cadant C4 CMTS (cable headend equipment)
Monitoring Examples
An operator would check cadEvMsgEnableFlag and cadEvMsgMaxBatchSize to confirm event messaging is active and correctly batched, then review cadEvMsgTransTimeTable entries (cadEvMsgTransTimeIdx, cadEvMsgTransTOD, cadEvMsgTransTimeStatus) to verify scheduled transmission windows to the record-keeping server are configured and enabled. Repeated retransmissions approaching cadEvMsgMaxRetry, or messages exceeding cadEvMsgMaxAge, would signal delivery failures that could result in lost billing records.
What Can Be Monitored
- event messaging enable status
- retransmission timer and retry count
- max batch size and message age
- scheduled transmission time windows
