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
