Description: iTouch event MIB providing SNMP objects for event logging, alert configuration, and trap generation on iTouch devices.

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 ITOUCH-EVENT-MIB?

ITOUCH-EVENT-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from iTouch Communications (importing DateTime and the iTouch enterprise root from ITOUCH-MIB) that models an on-device event log for iTouch network equipment. It defines a configurable circular event table (eventTableSize, 20-800 entries) with a global severity filter (eventSeverity: discard/low/medium/high), an eventGroupTable that enables or disables logging per functional area via the EventGroup enumeration (covering protocols and subsystems like IP, IPX, OSPF, ISIS, Spanning Tree, chassis, and hub management), and an eventTextTable holding the actual logged messages with their timestamp (eventTextDateTime) and severity (eventTextSeverity). Administrative objects such as eventClearLog, eventEnableAll, and eventDisableAll let a manager bulk-clear the log or toggle all event groups at once. Because this is purely an event/alerting MIB rather than a traffic-counter MIB, its monitoring value is in surfacing recent operational events recorded on the device without requiring syslog or console access, making it useful for centralized fault detection on iTouch chassis and switching products. Engineers evaluating this module for their monitoring stack often reference the ITOUCH-EVENT-MIB MIB when integrating iTouch event polling into an SNMP manager.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ITOUCH-EVENT-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls eventTextTable to read recent eventTextText entries and their eventTextSeverity; a sudden run of high-severity entries tied to the spanningTree or link EventGroup would indicate a topology flap or port failure that needs follow-up.

What Can Be Monitored

event table size and circular-buffer fill state
global event severity filter
per-event-group enable/disable state
logged event text, timestamp, and severity
bulk clear-log and enable/disable-all actions

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
xEvent	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33
INT eventTableSize	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.1	INTEGER	read-write	Controls the size of the event table in number of entries. Event storage begins with entry number one and continues to the upper bound. When the table becomes full, event storeage begins again with entry number one, overwriting the previously stored entry. A newly defined table size will not take effect until the unit is reinitialized.
INT eventSeverity	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.2	INTEGER	read-write	The severity of the event to be logged. All events fall into one of the above severity levels. Events are added to the event table if and only if the current value of this object is less than or equal to the severity of the event. If this object is set to discard, no events are logged to the table.
INT eventTimestamp	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.3	INTEGER	read-write	This object controls the timestamp embedded into the actual text of the event for event table text object eventTextText. If this object is set to none, no timestamp will be embedded in the text. This object has no effect on the event table text object eventTextDateTime.
INT eventLanguage	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.4	INTEGER	read-only	This object indicates the language of the event text in the table.
INT eventClearLog	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.5	INTEGER	read-write	When this object is set to execute, all events are cleared from the event table. Setting this object to ready has no effect.
INT eventEnableAll	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.6	INTEGER	read-write	When this object is set to execute, all events groups are enabled. Setting this object to ready has no effect.
INT eventDisableAll	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.7	INTEGER	read-write	When this object is set to execute, all events groups are disabled. Setting this object to ready has no effect.
eventGroupTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.8		not-accessible	Table of descriptive and status information about event groups.
eventGroupEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.8.1		not-accessible	An entry in the table, containing information about an event group.
EVE eventGroupIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.8.1.1	EventGroup	read-only	This variable identifies the event group.
INT eventGroupState	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.8.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	This variable controls whether events from a particular event group may be logged to the event table.
eventTextTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9		not-accessible	Table of descriptive and status information about an event.
eventTextEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9.1		not-accessible	An entry in the table, containing information about an event.
EVE eventTextGroupIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9.1.1	EventGroup	read-only	This variable identifies the event group.
INT eventTextEventIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	This variable identifies the event of the desired group. This number is arbitrary, and translates to nth event of the specified group. This value wraps at the 32 bit maximum.
STR eventTextText	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9.1.3	DisplayString	read-only	The text of the event in the language defined by eventLanguage.
DAT eventTextDateTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9.1.4	DateTime	read-only	The timestamp of when the event was posted.
INT eventTextSeverity	1.3.6.1.4.1.33.33.9.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	The severity of the event.
