Description: MIB for tracking configuration change records on Cisco UCS, referencing the managed objects that were modified during policy or hardware configuration operations
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-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CHANGE-MIB?
CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CHANGE-MIB is a Cisco UCS management-model MIB that tracks configuration change records, recording references to the managed objects (MOs) that were modified during policy or hardware configuration operations. It exposes audit/change-tracking data -- object distinguished names (Dn), class IDs, GUIDs, and status of changed objects -- rather than live performance counters. Its monitoring value is primarily for software/configuration status: confirming that configuration changes were applied as expected and providing an audit trail for troubleshooting unexpected behavior following a policy update. It is intrinsically tied to the wider Cisco UCS object model (referencing UCS managed-object DNs and class IDs) and is not meaningful without that broader UCS MIB context. It is deployed within Cisco UCS Manager domains, where CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CHANGE-MIB SNMP monitoring gives administrators visibility into recent configuration changes across fabric interconnects, blades, and policies.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CHANGE-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 UCS fabric interconnects
- Cisco UCS Manager-managed server domains
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll cucsChangeChangedObjectRefTable/cucsChangeChangedObjectRefEntry, examining cucsChangeChangedObjectRefDn and cucsChangeChangedObjectRefChangedMoClassId to see which managed objects were recently modified. The cucsChangeChangedObjectRefOldCentraleMoDn and cucsChangeChangedObjectRefRefObjStatus fields help correlate a change record with its prior object identity and outcome status, useful for tracing a service disruption back to a specific configuration edit. A spike in change records for a given cucsChangeChangedObjectRefUcsmMoDn could indicate configuration flapping or an automation script misbehaving.
What Can Be Monitored
- recently changed managed objects
- change record object class and DN
- change status/outcome
- configuration change audit trail
