Description: Manages CA Unicenter Windows platform monitoring including Windows service status, event log, and system performance metrics.

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 CAIWINA3-MIB?

CAIWINA3-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from CA (Computer Associates) Unicenter TNG, providing system administration and performance monitoring objects for managed Microsoft Windows server hosts via the CA Windows system agent (winA3). It exposes configuration data for agent polling intervals across resource categories including CPU, memory, logical volumes, mount points, DFS shares, disk quotas, directories, files, and processes. Its monitoring value is directly hardware/software status oriented: winA3ConfigGeneralCPUPollTime and winA3ConfigGeneralMemPollTime govern CPU load and memory usage sampling, winA3ConfigGeneralProcPollTime governs process/service monitoring, and winA3ConfigGeneralColdStartTime/WarmStartTime track agent and host restart events similar to uptime tracking. It belongs to CA's proprietary Unicenter TNG/caiSysMgr MIB family (mirroring the structure of CAIUXSA2-MIB for UNIX) rather than depending on the standard IETF Host Resources MIB. It is typically deployed in enterprise data centers using CA Unicenter to centrally manage mixed Windows/UNIX server fleets, and administrators can download the CAIWINA3-MIB file to load it directly into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CAIWINA3-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

  • Windows server managed by CA Unicenter TNG

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would review winA3ConfigGeneralColdStartTime/WarmStartTime to detect unplanned reboots of a monitored Windows server, and check winA3ConfigGeneralCPUPollTime/MemPollTime settings alongside the collected CPU and memory usage data to spot a server under sustained high load. Polling intervals for winA3ConfigGeneralLVolPollTime and winA3ConfigGeneralMntPollTime govern how logical volumes and mount points are checked for free space, which would reveal an impending disk-full condition, while winA3ConfigGeneralProcPollTime governs process monitoring that can flag a critical Windows service that has stopped running.

What Can Be Monitored

  • CPU load
  • memory usage
  • logical volume/mount point free space
  • DFS share status
  • disk quota status
  • process/service status
  • agent cold/warm start (uptime) events
