Description: Monitors and records network outage events including duration and affected interfaces on Cisco network devices.

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-OUTAGE-MONITOR-MIB?

CISCO-OUTAGE-MONITOR-MIB is a Cisco Systems, Inc. proprietary MIB storing and reporting outage-related events across router hardware and software components — physical/logical interfaces, chassis/slots/modules/ports/power-supplies/fans, per-card software processes, and logical entities like IOS on each LC/RP or overall CPU utilization. Its objects cover application version, notifications-sent/enabled, notification-filter-enabled, filtered-events count, history-table size, messages-flushed count, a history table (event index, object type, monitored-object index, event-type index, time, interval), an event-type-map table (index, name, description), and an object table (type, monitored-object index, current status). As a status/notification MIB it lets an administrator review historical up/down and process start/termination events across a Cisco router's hardware and software. It is deployed on Cisco Systems routing equipment (outage monitoring). Engineers can download the CISCO-OUTAGE-MONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-OUTAGE-MONITOR-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 Systems routing equipment (outage monitoring)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks cOutageHistoryTable and cOutageCurrentStatus to review recent up/down events across a Cisco router's hardware and software components.

What Can Be Monitored

  • hardware/software component up/down and process-lifecycle events

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cOutageNotificationsSent OID:

Select a Cisco routing equipment (outage monitoring) 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 cOutageNotificationsSent into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of outage notifications that have been sent. 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 (in notifications), 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.
