Description: Monitors system resources including CPU load, memory, and uptime on Colubris/HP wireless platforms.

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 COLUBRIS-SYSTEM-MIB?

COLUBRIS-SYSTEM-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module providing generic system identification and status information for Colubris Networks (later HP MSM) wireless devices. It exposes configuration/identity data such as product name, hardware and firmware revisions, serial number, MAC address, and WAN IP address, alongside basic runtime status. It is directly useful for monitoring device software and hardware status: systemUpTime tracks how long the device has been running (revealing unexpected reboots), systemFirmwareRevision and systemFirmwareBuildDate track software version for patch compliance, and systemHardwareRevision/systemSerialNumber support hardware inventory and lifecycle tracking. It is a standalone enterprise system MIB, functioning much like a vendor-specific analogue to the standard SNMPv2-MIB system group. It is typically deployed for baseline inventory and health polling of Colubris/HP wireless access points and controllers in enterprise networks. Engineers can download the COLUBRIS-SYSTEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in COLUBRIS-SYSTEM-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

  • Colubris/HP wireless access point
  • Colubris/HP wireless LAN controller

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll systemUpTime to detect unplanned reboots and systemFirmwareRevision together with systemFirmwareBuildDate to confirm all deployed access points are running an approved firmware build. systemProductName, systemHardwareRevision, and systemSerialNumber under systemInfo let an inventory tool automatically catalog device models across a site, while systemWanPortIpAddress helps verify WAN connectivity configuration on gateway-mode units. A sudden drop and reset of systemUpTime across many devices simultaneously would point to a power event or firmware push affecting the whole deployment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • system uptime
  • firmware revision and build date
  • hardware revision
  • serial number
  • MAC address
  • WAN IP address

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using systemUpTime OID:

Select a Colubris/HP wireless access point/controller (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 systemUpTime into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the how long the system has been running since its last restart. 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 value is unexpectedly low (e.g. under 10 minutes), since that indicates a recent, possibly unplanned, reboot or restart. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
