What Is OG-CONNECT-MIB?

OG-CONNECT-MIB is Opengear's vendor-specific MIB for its out-of-band console-server/management devices, covering console connection events and cellular/network failover configuration. It exposes an event table logging console session activity, recording who connected, via which port, and what type of event occurred, functioning as an audit/fault log for remote console access. Its monitoring value is chiefly around software/access status: tracking user logins to console ports (ogconnEventUsername, ogconnEventPortNumber/Label, ogconnEventType) so operators can audit who accessed a serial console and when, useful for security and change-tracking on out-of-band management gear. It defines its own notification prefix and conformance/compliance groups following standard SNMPv2 conventions, though it does not show explicit reliance on other IETF MIBs. Typical deployment is data-center or remote-site out-of-band management, where Opengear console servers provide last-resort serial/cellular access to other equipment and operators want an audit trail of console connections. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the OG-CONNECT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in OG-CONNECT-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.

What Can Be Monitored

  • console connection events
  • connecting username
  • console port number/label
  • event type (connect/disconnect)

Supported Devices

  • Opengear out-of-band console/management device

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll ogconnEventTable (indexed by ogconnEventIndex) and inspect ogconnEventUsername together with ogconnEventPortLabel/ogconnEventPortNumber to see which user connected to which labeled serial port and when. ogconnEventType differentiates connection, disconnection, and other event kinds, letting an operator spot an unexpected after-hours console login. The ogconnEvent notification would typically be sent in real time so the NMS is alerted the moment a console session starts, rather than relying solely on polling.
