Description: Guardian security appliance MIB for monitoring intrusion detection/prevention system status and alert statistics.

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 GUARDIAN-MIB?

GUARDIAN-MIB is a private proprietary MIB (enterprise OID 3166) for a 'Guardian' environmental-monitoring card, reporting input/fan/temperature/power status. Its objects cover card name/revision, an overall control object, input/fan/temperature/ISA/DC status summaries, and up to four digital input channels (value, polarity) and four fan channels (value, min/max thresholds). As a hardware-status MIB it lets an administrator watch fan speed against configured min/max thresholds and digital input states on equipment fitted with a Guardian monitoring card. It is deployed on equipment with a Guardian environmental-monitoring card. Engineers can download the GUARDIAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in GUARDIAN-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

  • Westek Guardian environmental-monitoring card (installed in host equipment) — Enterprise OID 3166 resolves to Westek, previously left as an unnamed 'private proprietary MIB'.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator monitors devFan1Val against devFan1Min/devFan1Max to catch a failing fan on equipment fitted with a Guardian monitoring card.

What Can Be Monitored

  • fan speed and digital input status vs. thresholds
