Description: Monitors Cisco Vision digital signage platform content delivery, display endpoint status, and media playback health.

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-VISION-MIB?

CISCO-VISION-MIB reports operational status for Cisco Vision Director, a digital signage and video content-delivery platform built around Digital Media Players (DMPs) deployed at display endpoints such as stadiums, retail, and enterprise venues. It exposes endpoint hardware/software status such as whether the attached display (TV) is powered on, network interface counters (bytes/packets in and out, packet errors), and CPU utilization via ssCpuRawUser/ssCpuRawIdle, alongside precision-timing health via NTP and PTP (master, deviation, sync status) used to keep video playback synchronized across many screens. This makes it valuable for spotting failed displays, network-starved players, high CPU load on a DMP, or timing drift that would cause content to fall out of sync across a venue. It reuses the standard ssCpuRawUser/ssCpuRawIdle objects from the UCD-SNMP-MIB/HOST-RESOURCES family for CPU accounting rather than defining its own. It is typically deployed by AV/IT teams managing large fleets of digital signage endpoints in venues like stadiums, campuses, and retail chains. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the CISCO-VISION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-VISION-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 Vision Digital Media Players (DMPs)
  • Cisco Vision Director digital signage endpoints

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll ciscoVisionDmpTvOnOff and ciscoVisionDmpPTPstatus across a fleet of DMPs to find screens that are powered off or have lost PTP sync, which would show up as visibly out-of-sync video walls. Checking ciscoVisionDmpBytesIn/BytesOut and ciscoVisionDmpPktErrCnt on the ciscoVisionDmpInterfaceDesc-identified interface would reveal a DMP suffering network packet loss, while ssCpuRawUser trending high would flag a player struggling to decode content. ciscoVisionDmpPTPDeviation quantifies how far a given player's clock has drifted from ciscoVisionDmpPTPMaster.

What Can Be Monitored

  • display power state
  • PTP/NTP time sync status and deviation
  • network interface throughput and errors
  • CPU utilization
  • packet error counts

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ciscoVisionDmpTvOnOff OID:

Select a Cisco Vision digital signage device 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 ciscoVisionDmpTvOnOff into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. This field represents the dmp Tv on Of status 0 : On 1 : Off -1 : Unknown. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
