What Is OG-PATTERN-MIB?

OG-PATTERN-MIB is an Opengear-specific MIB for the company's console/serial-server management appliances, defining a console log pattern-matching engine that scans serial console output for configured text patterns and triggers automated responses, per its module description. It exposes an event table (ogpatnEventTable) recording matched pattern events, including a description and the matched text (ogpatnEventDescription, ogpatnEventText) plus the serial port number and label (ogpatnEventPortNumber, ogpatnEventPortLabel) where the match occurred, and it defines SNMP notifications to alert on matches. This is a software/event-status monitoring MIB: rather than exposing hardware counters directly, it lets administrators detect specific conditions (such as a kernel panic string, login failure, or error message) appearing in a managed device's console output, a powerful proxy for monitoring the software health of equipment connected via the Opengear console server. It depends on Opengear's own console-server management framework and standard SNMPv2-based notification conventions for alerting. It is deployed on Opengear console/serial-server appliances used for out-of-band management of racks of servers, network gear, and other equipment via serial consoles. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the OG-PATTERN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • matched pattern events
  • matched console text
  • triggering serial port number
  • triggering serial port label
  • event description

Supported Devices

  • Opengear console/serial server appliance

Monitoring Examples

An operator would configure a pattern (e.g., matching "Kernel panic" or "login failed") and then poll ogpatnEventTable/ogpatnEventEntry to see triggered events, reading ogpatnEventText for the actual matched console text and ogpatnEventPortNumber/ogpatnEventPortLabel to identify which serial port and attached device produced it. A sudden burst of pattern-match events on a specific port would indicate the connected device is logging repeated errors or has crashed and is printing a boot/panic sequence to its console.
