Description: IT Watchdogs version 4 environmental monitoring MIB providing SNMP objects for temperature, humidity, and power sensor readings.

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 IT-WATCHDOGS-V4-MIB?

IT-WATCHDOGS-V4-MIB is the fourth-generation vendor MIB from I.T. Watchdogs for its environmental monitoring hardware, superseding the original IT-WATCHDOGS-MIB with a more detailed internal sensor table structure. It exposes product identity data alongside a deviceCount, temperatureUnits setting, and an internalTable of per-device internal sensor readings identified by internalIndex and internalSerial, matching product families like Blackbird and Watchdog100. Its monitoring purpose remains centered on physical environmental status: internal sensor readings (temperature/humidity, depending on the specific sensor module) tied to a unique serial number, letting an admin track individual sensor units across a data center for temperature and power anomalies. It is a standalone proprietary MIB with no dependency on external standard MIBs evident from the extract. Deployment context is the same server room/data center rack environments as the original IT-WATCHDOGS-MIB, using newer Blackbird or Watchdog100 series sensor hardware. Engineers can download the IT-WATCHDOGS-V4-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in IT-WATCHDOGS-V4-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

  • I.T. Watchdogs Blackbird/Watchdog100 environmental monitoring hardware

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll internalTable/internalEntry keyed by internalIndex to read sensor data per attached device, cross-referencing internalSerial to identify a specific physical sensor unit that may be reporting an anomaly. deviceCount would be checked to confirm all expected Blackbird or Watchdog100 sensor devices are recognized by the hub, and temperatureUnits confirms whether readings are being reported in Celsius or Fahrenheit before interpreting threshold alerts. productFriendlyName and productMacAddress help identify which physical hub is reporting when managing multiple units.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-device internal sensor readings
  • attached device count
  • temperature unit configuration
  • sensor serial number identification
  • device firmware/product version

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using internalAvail OID:

Select an I.T. Watchdogs Blackbird/Watchdog100 environmental monitoring hardware 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 internalAvail 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 whether this device is currently plugged in and available. 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 Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value indicates the device is no longer available or plugged in, since that often means a power or connectivity issue at that monitoring point. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
