Description: Huawei configuration management MIB for managing device configuration files, configuration save/load operations, and change history tracking.

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 HUAWEI-CONFIG-MAN-MIB?

HUAWEI-CONFIG-MAN-MIB is a Huawei-proprietary configuration-management MIB used across the Huawei router and switch product lines to represent the model of configuration data held on the device and its peripherals. It exposes objects for querying and manipulating configuration files, triggering save/load/backup operations, and reading a change-history log of configuration modifications made on the system. Its primary monitoring value is tracking configuration-management software status: whether a save or load operation completed successfully, what the current active configuration state is, and a historical audit trail of who or what changed device configuration and when, which is a software/process health signal rather than a hardware sensor. The module description notes it has no built-in constraints, implying it is meant to be paired with other Huawei management MIBs (and standard SNMP SET/GET semantics) to actually drive configuration changes. It is typically deployed wherever an NMS needs to remotely back up, restore, or audit configuration changes on Huawei network devices, such as centralized configuration-compliance or change-management systems, and a HUAWEI-CONFIG-MAN-MIB download is available for administrators who need to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • Huawei routers
  • Huawei switches

Monitoring Examples

An NMS would poll the configuration change-log objects to retrieve a history of configuration modifications and correlate them with a device outage or unexpected behavior, or trigger a configuration save/backup operation and then check its completion status object. No sample object names were provided for this module, so specific table names cannot be cited, but the module description explicitly confirms change-log query and configuration save/load operations as the exposed functionality. A failed or stalled save/load status would indicate a configuration-management operation did not complete as expected.

What Can Be Monitored

  • configuration save/load operation status
  • configuration change history log
  • active configuration state
  • peripheral device configuration data

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hwCfgLogDeletedEntries OID:

Select a Huawei router or switch (configuration save/load/backup management) 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 hwCfgLogDeletedEntries into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of rows deleted from hwCfgLogTable. 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.
