Description: Provides management objects for the Codima Express network intelligence and monitoring appliance.

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 CODIMA-EXPRESS-MIB?

CODIMA-EXPRESS-MIB is a vendor MIB for the Codima Express product suite, a network intelligence/monitoring appliance historically used for network traffic analysis and reporting. It exposes time-series control objects (sample type, time slots, time-lock settings) and a base statistics table recording timestamped frame counts, alongside grouped object categories for the appliance's express functions, historical database, and database control features. Its monitoring emphasis is on the appliance's own data-collection software status -- confirming that time-based sampling and its historical database are correctly configured and actively locking/recording data -- rather than classic hardware sensors. It sits in Codima's own private enterprise MIB tree, with its historyDatabaseGroups and dbControlGroups suggesting an internal dependency on the appliance's proprietary time-series database rather than an external standard. It was deployed on Codima Express appliances used for network traffic intelligence and historical trend reporting in enterprise or carrier networks, and administrators supporting these appliances typically begin with a CODIMA-EXPRESS-MIB download to load its objects into a MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CODIMA-EXPRESS-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

  • Codima Express network intelligence/monitoring appliance

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll ctrlTimeTable/ctrlTimeEntry to check ctSampleType, ctTimeSlots, and ctLockMethod, confirming the appliance's sampling interval and time-locking approach are configured as expected, using ctLockUserTime/ctLockRealTime to verify the lock reference clock. slBaseTable/slBaseEntry entries indexed by slbTimeStampIndex expose slbTimeStamp and slbFrames, letting an operator pull historical frame-count trends to identify a traffic spike or a gap in data collection.

What Can Be Monitored

  • sampling configuration and interval
  • time-lock method and reference clock
  • historical frame counts
  • database control/status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using slbFrames OID:

Select a Codima Express network-intelligence appliance (legacy) 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 slbFrames into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of Frames (Transmitted and Received). A value of 4294967294 indicates 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 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, 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.
