Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is Nortel-Magellan-Passport-DataCollectionMIB?

This MIB belongs to the Nortel Magellan Passport multiservice switch family and defines the data-collection (DC) component that schedules, gathers, and stores performance and statistical records pulled from other subsystems on the switch. It exposes provisioning objects for collection schedules and agent queue sizing (colAgentQueueSize) plus statistics-storage objects (colStatsTable) holding accumulated performance counters. Its monitoring value lies in tracking the health of the performance-management subsystem itself: whether collection jobs are active (colRowStatus), whether the collection agent's internal queue is backing up, and whether statistics records are accumulating as expected - effectively a software-process health indicator for the switch's telemetry pipeline. It relies on the shared Passport component/RowStatus conventions and interoperates with the per-service counters defined across other Magellan Passport MIBs that it collects from. It is typically deployed in carrier and enterprise WAN environments running Magellan Passport switches to support scheduled performance data collection for capacity planning and reporting. Engineers can download the Nortel-Magellan-Passport-DataCollectionMIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-Magellan-Passport-DataCollectionMIB. 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

  • Nortel Magellan Passport multiservice switch

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls colAgentQueueSize on a colProvTable/colProvEntry instance to verify the collection agent's queue is not saturating, and checks colStatsTable/colStatsEntry to confirm statistics records are being produced for a given component. colRowStatus on colRowStatusTable shows whether a collection schedule is active, notInService, or destroyed. A persistently high or growing colAgentQueueSize indicates the collector cannot keep pace with the volume of statistics generated, risking dropped performance records.

What Can Be Monitored

  • data collection schedule status
  • collection agent queue size
  • statistics record storage
  • component row status
  • collection provisioning parameters
