Description: Provides CA Unicenter UNIX system administration and performance monitoring for managed UNIX server environments.

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 CAIUXSA2-MIB?

CAIUXSA2-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from CA (Computer Associates) Unicenter TNG, providing system administration and performance monitoring objects for managed UNIX server hosts via the CA UNIX system agent (uxsA2). It exposes configuration data for agent polling intervals across many resource categories, alongside the underlying performance data those polls collect, including CPU, memory, swap, disk quota, directory, file system, and file monitoring. Its monitoring value is squarely hardware/software status of the managed host: uxsA2ConfigGeneralCPUPollTime, uxsA2ConfigGeneralMemPollTime, and uxsA2ConfigGeneralSwapPollTime govern how often CPU load, memory, and swap usage are sampled, while uxsA2ConfigGeneralColdStartTime/WarmStartTime track agent (and by extension host) restart events akin to uptime tracking. It is part of CA's proprietary Unicenter TNG/caiSysMgr MIB family and does not depend on standard IETF host MIBs, instead defining its own object hierarchy under the 'cai' enterprise branch. It is typically deployed in enterprise data centers using CA Unicenter as a cross-platform systems management console for UNIX server fleets. Engineers can download the CAIUXSA2-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CAIUXSA2-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

  • UNIX server managed by CA Unicenter TNG

Monitoring Examples

An administrator managing a UNIX estate through CA Unicenter would check uxsA2ConfigGeneralColdStartTime and uxsA2ConfigGeneralWarmStartTime to determine when a monitored UNIX host or its agent last restarted, which can reveal an unplanned reboot. Reviewing uxsA2ConfigGeneralCPUPollTime, uxsA2ConfigGeneralMemPollTime, and uxsA2ConfigGeneralSwapPollTime alongside the resulting resource-parameter data (uxsA2ConfigGeneralResParamPollTime) would show how frequently CPU load, memory, and swap usage are sampled, and combined with uxsA2ConfigGeneralFSysPollTime/FilePollTime, an admin can track file-system space exhaustion or unexpected file-count growth across managed UNIX servers.

What Can Be Monitored

  • CPU load
  • memory and swap usage
  • disk quota status
  • file system space
  • directory and file counts
  • agent cold/warm start (uptime) events
