Description: Monitors DVB MPEG transport stream quality metrics per ETSI TR 101 290 priority levels for broadcast headends.

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 DVB-MGTR101290-MIB?

This vendor-neutral DVB Measurement Group MIB implements the MPEG transport-stream quality measurements defined by ETSI TR 101 290, organized into its three standard priority levels. It exposes transport-stream error and quality counters corresponding to sync/PAT/PMT-type critical faults (priority 1) as well as lower-priority quality metrics. It is squarely a software/stream-health monitoring module: priority-1 errors indicate critical decoding failures such as loss of sync, while lower-priority counters flag less severe quality degradation, letting broadcast engineers triage transport-stream health at a glance. It complements DVB-MGSIGNALCHARACTERISTICS-MIB and directly implements the ETSI TR 101 290 test specification. It is typically deployed on transport-stream analyzers and monitoring probes at DVB broadcast headends. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the DVB-MGTR101290-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DVB-MGTR101290-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

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • DVB transport-stream analyzer/monitoring probe

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were supplied for this module, so specific table names cannot be cited with confidence. Conceptually, an engineer would poll priority-1 error counters to catch critical faults like transport-stream sync loss immediately, while trending priority-2 and priority-3 counters over time to catch slowly developing quality problems. A spike in priority-1 errors would typically indicate an imminent viewer-facing outage.

What Can Be Monitored

  • TR 101 290 priority-1 critical transport stream errors
  • priority-2 quality errors
  • priority-3 monitoring parameters
  • transport stream sync status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using tsTestsSummaryCounter OID:

Select a DVB transport-stream analyzer/monitoring probe (vendor-neutral ETSI TR 101 290 standard) 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 tsTestsSummaryCounter 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 count of the number of times this error has occurred. 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 between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
