Description: Sun Microsystems MIB extending SunManagementCenter with filesystem scan and capacity monitoring capabilities.

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 FSCAN-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB?

FSCAN-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB is a Sun Microsystems MIB extending Sun Management Center (SunSymon) with file-scanning and capacity-monitoring capabilities, closely related to FSCAN-MIB2 but with a fuller object set. It allows files to be monitored in Full, Incremental, Tail, or Persist-Tail modes for regular-expression content scanning as well as size/growth tracking, exposing per-file name, scan mode, start/modification times, size, length, and length growth rate in a scan table. Its monitoring role is software/log and storage status: an operator uses it both to watch for matching content in log files (e.g., error patterns) and to catch a file or filesystem growing abnormally fast (fsFileLengthRate) before it exhausts disk space. It is a module within the broader Sun Management Center (SunSymon) agent product, structured alongside its sibling 'prod'/'sunsymon' MIB modules. It is deployed on Sun/Solaris servers running Sun Management Center for combined log-content and disk-capacity monitoring. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the FSCAN-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FSCAN-SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-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

Sun Microsystems/Oracle Solaris server running Sun Management Center

Monitoring Examples

An admin would configure fsFileScanTable/fsFileScanEntry entries by fsFileScanEntryName to watch a specific log file, then poll fsFileSize/fsFileLength and fsFileLengthRate to detect a file growing unexpectedly fast, which could indicate a stuck process writing excessive log output or an application error loop. fsFileScanMode shows whether the file is being fully rescanned, incrementally scanned, or tailed, and fsFileScanRowStatus/fsFileScanEntryDesc confirm whether a given scan configuration is active and what it is intended to detect.

What Can Be Monitored

file/filesystem size and length
growth rate
scan mode (full/incremental/tail/persist-tail)
scan start and modification time
scan entry status

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
sun	1.3.6.1.4.1.42
prod	1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2
sunsymon	1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12

modules	1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2
filescan	1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.24			The File Scanning allows to monitor files for regular expressions in one of four modes: Full mode - when ever the file is modified the entire file is scanned. Incremental - The entire file is scanned only once. Lines added to the end of the file are then scanned as they are appended. Tail - The existing file contents are not scanned at all. Lines added to the end of file are scanned as they are appended. Persist Tail - Same as Tail mode except when the agent is restarted, it scans the file starting from the last line examined in the previous scanning. SNMPv2 uses the term 'context' for the MIBs that can have multiple instances running on the Agent. If you are using a SNMPv2 based thirdparty management station to communicate with such an agent, then make sure that you are using the right context information. However, if you are using SNMPv1 based management station, then add the context information to the SNMP community as follows ':' This will enable you to access data from multiple instances of the same module running on an agent.
