Description: Manages Cisco Digital Media System components including Digital Media Players and Digital Signs, monitoring playback and device status.

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 CISCO-DIGITAL-MEDIA-SYSTEMS-MIB?

This Cisco MIB manages Cisco Digital Media Systems (DMS) components -- including Digital Media Players (DMP) and Digital Signage displays -- used for enterprise video/signage distribution. It exposes software version information, licensing/feature-entitlement data, and a monitoring notification/object framework for the DMS platform. Its monitoring emphasis is on software status: cdmsMajorVersion/cdmsMinorVersion/cdmsPatchVersion track the running DMS software version, cdmsLicensedFeatureTable and related objects track which features are licensed versus available, and the ciscoDmsMonitorMIBNotifs/Objects group supports broader operational alerting for the DMS environment. It is a Cisco-proprietary enterprise MIB without an evident dependency on external IETF standard MIBs. It is typically deployed in enterprise/retail/campus environments running Cisco DMM (Digital Media Manager) with networked DMPs and digital signage endpoints. Engineers can download the CISCO-DIGITAL-MEDIA-SYSTEMS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DIGITAL-MEDIA-SYSTEMS-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

  • Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP)
  • Cisco Digital Signage display
  • Cisco Digital Media Manager server

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cdmsMajorVersion/cdmsMinorVersion/cdmsPatchVersion to confirm which DMS software release a manager or player is running, and check cdmsLicensedFeatureTable/cdmsLicensedFeatureEntry indexed by cdmsLicensedFeatureIndex against cdmsLicensedFeatureLimit to see whether the deployment is approaching a licensed feature's usage cap. The ciscoDmsMonitorMIBNotifs group would be used to catch operational notifications from the digital media monitoring subsystem, such as a licensing threshold being crossed.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DMS software version (major/minor/patch)
  • licensed feature usage vs limit
  • last license update time
  • licensable vs licensed feature counts
  • digital media monitoring notifications

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cdmsNumAuthenRequests OID:

Select a Cisco Digital Media Player/Signage/Media Manager (legacy) 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 cdmsNumAuthenRequests into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of user authentication requests processed by DMS since last reboot. 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 Counter64-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 (in requests), 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.
