Description: Supports CiscoWorks network management application logging, forwarding messages as SNMP traps to network management platforms.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring CISCOWORKS-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is CISCOWORKS-MIB?

CISCOWORKS-MIB is a Cisco Systems proprietary MIB defining trap objects used by CiscoWorks network-management software to forward log messages — originally from the classic nmlogd process, later from CiscoWorks Blue's DLSw and APPN/SNASw components — to other NM platforms as SNMP traps. Its objects carry log date, source, application name, and message text, alongside application-log and device-log trap notifications. As a notification MIB it lets a downstream NMS receive log events originally captured by CiscoWorks as structured SNMP traps. It is deployed on CiscoWorks network-management server installations. Engineers can download the CISCOWORKS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCOWORKS-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.

Monitoring Examples

A downstream NMS subscribes to cwDevLogTrap to receive DLSw/SNA-related log events forwarded from a CiscoWorks Blue installation as SNMP traps.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
cwLogMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1			This MIB describes the traps and trap and trap variables used by CiscoWorks. Originally the CiscoWorks classic nmlogd process forwarded messages logged by applications and devices to NM platforms as traps. Now it is used by CiscoWorks Blue to send DLSw and APPN/SNASw traps to NM platforms.
cwLog	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.1
STR cwLogDate	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.1.1	DisplayString	read-only	Date in the format of 'MMM DD HH:MM:SS' when the message is logged. The time zone used is configured on CiscoWorks workstation.
INT cwLogSource	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	The source of the log message as follows. 'other' - The source of the log entry is a source other than ciscoworks application or Cisco device. 'ciscoworks' - Indicates the message is generated by CiscoWorks applications (e.g. nmpolld). 'device' - Indicates the message is generated by Cisco devices.
STR cwLogApp	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.1.3	DisplayString	read-only	The name of the application that generates the log message If the message is generated by a device, this string will be empty.
STR cwLogMsg	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.1.4	DisplayString	read-only	The text of the log message.
cwTrapsPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.2
cwTraps	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.2.0
NTF cwAppLogTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.2.0.1			A cwAppLogTrap is sent by nmlogd when a CiscoWorks application logs a message to system log file on CiscoWorks workstation. This is also sent by CiscoWorks Blue processes.
NTF cwDevLogTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.2.0.2			A cwDevLogTrap is sent by nmlogd when a device logs a message to system log file on CiscoWorks workstation.
cwMIBConform	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.3
ciscoCwMIBCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.3.1
ciscoCwMIBCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.3.1.1			The compliance statement for entities which implement the CISCOWORKS-MIB.
ciscoCwMIBGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.3.2
ciscoCwObjectsGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.14.1.3.2.7			Cisco Works Objects Group
