What Is CTRON-SYSLOG?

CTRON-SYSLOG is a Cabletron Systems (later Enterasys) proprietary MIB for managing the syslog subsystem on Cabletron networking equipment, controlling how the device generates, filters, and forwards log messages to remote syslog servers. It exposes configuration objects for server address, facility and severity filtering, and "log window" definitions that match and route specific event or client strings, as well as administrative controls to freeze, reset, or re-arm those windows. Because syslog output typically carries hardware fault, link-state, and software-event notifications, this MIB is valuable for monitoring the overall software/event health of the device by tracking whether logging is active, correctly filtered, and whether particular log windows have captured matching fault conditions. It operates independently of but complements the standard SYSLOG-MSG-MIB/SNMPv2 notification mechanisms already present on the device. Typical deployment is on legacy Cabletron/Enterasys switches and hubs where centralized logging to a syslog collector is used for network operations monitoring. Engineers can download the CTRON-SYSLOG file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Cabletron/Enterasys network switch or hub

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll logWindowTable/logWindowEntry to see each configured log window's ltLogString, ltClientMatchString, and ltEventMatchString, checking whether a specific error pattern (e.g. a link-flap or hardware fault message) has been captured by ltWindowOperation. scAdminStatus and scLastChange in serverConfig reveal whether the syslog server integration is enabled and when its configuration last changed, letting staff confirm logs are actually being forwarded off-box for later analysis.

What Can Be Monitored

syslog server configuration
facility/severity filtering
log window match strings
log window freeze/reset state
last configuration change time

logWindow	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1
logWindowTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.1		not-accessible	Table of log entries
logWindowEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.1.1		not-accessible	Entry of logWindow Table
INT ltIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	Index (window position) of the entry in the current Log Snapshot.
STR ltLogString	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.1.1.2	DisplayString	read-only	String describing the event in the format: Time(DD:HH:MM:SS) + Log Level(FREEZE/ERROR/CRITICAL/STATUS/INFO/DEBUG) + Log Client Name + Event String. Time is expressed as time since reset (not realtime). This will change to realtime in the next iteration of this MIB.
INT ltWindowOperation	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	refresh(2) redisplays the contents of the current window table. pageUp(3) moves the window one page up. pageDown(4) moves the window one page down.
INT ltWindowReset	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	By setting this object to one of the two available values moves the beginning of the next window to log start or end
STR ltClientMatchString	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	Setting this object to a string value will filter out those clients that do not contain that string as a prefix (case sensitive).
STR ltEventMatchString	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	Setting this object to a string value will filter out those logged events that do not contain that string within the log entry (case sensitive).
serverConfig	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.2
INT scAutoFreeze	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.2.1	INTEGER	read-write	After this value is enabled, the act of logging a FREEZE level message will prevent any additional messages from being logged. The logging process can continue when scAdminStatus is set to enableLogging(3).
INT scAdminStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.2.2	INTEGER	read-write	This object controls the status of the message logging system and the log itself. Setting this object to disableLogging(2) will prevent any clients from appending messages to the log. EnableLogging(3) starts/resumes logging. Reset(5) initializes the log.
TIK scLastChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4497.9.2.3	TimeTicks	read-only	The value of sysUpTime at the last change to scAdminStatus or scAutoFreeze.
