Description: H3C MIB for configuration file management including saving, loading, and tracking configuration change history.

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 H3C-CONFIG-MAN-MIB?

H3C-CONFIG-MAN-MIB is an H3C-specific MIB for configuration management, modeling the device's running and startup configuration state and providing a change-log/history mechanism. It exposes timestamps for when the running configuration was last modified or saved and when the startup configuration was last modified, plus a configuration-change log table recording each change's source command and source data. As a software/state-monitoring MIB it is used to detect unsaved or drifted configuration (comparing "last modified" vs "last saved" timestamps) and to audit who/what changed the configuration and when, valuable for change-management and compliance monitoring rather than hardware health. It states no formal MIB dependency and is explicitly unconstrained, representing configuration data that "exists elsewhere in the system." It is typically deployed across H3C switches and routers in environments requiring configuration-drift detection, audit trails, or automated backup triggers. Engineers can download the H3C-CONFIG-MAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-CONFIG-MAN-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

  • H3C switches and routers

Monitoring Examples

Comparing h3cCfgRunModifiedLast against h3cCfgRunSavedLast reveals whether the running configuration has unsaved changes that would be lost on reboot. Polling h3cCfgLogTable / h3cCfgLogEntry (indexed by h3cCfgLogIndex) surfaces h3cCfgLogTime, h3cCfgLogSrcCmd, and h3cCfgLogSrcData for each recorded change, letting an admin audit exactly which command altered the configuration. A climbing h3cCfgLogDeletedEntries or h3cCfgLogLimitedEntries count indicates the log buffer is being trimmed and older change history is being lost.

What Can Be Monitored

  • running vs. saved configuration timestamps
  • startup configuration modification time
  • configuration change log entries
  • source command/data of each change
  • configuration log buffer limits and backup status

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using h3cCfgLogDeletedEntries OID:

Select an H3C switch/router (configuration management/change log) 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 h3cCfgLogDeletedEntries into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of rows deleted from h3cCfgLogTable. 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 sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
