Description: Reports overall system health, interface link state, and subsystem status for Opengear management appliances.
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 OG-STATUS-MIB?
OG-STATUS-MIB is a legacy Opengear MIB for their console/remote-management appliances, reporting overall system health, interface link state, and subsystem status. Its centerpiece is a serial-port status table that exposes per-port hardware signal and traffic data for the device's serial console ports. For hardware status monitoring, it reports live modem-control signal lines (DCD, DTR, DSR, CTS, RTS) plus port speed and byte counters (RxBytes/TxBytes), which together reveal whether a connected serial device/console session is actually established and passing data. As a "legacy" status/alert MIB it is described as an older module superseded by newer Opengear MIBs, and has no explicit noted dependency on other standard MIBs beyond the standard SNMPv2-CONF conformance framework objects (ogStatusConformance/ogStatusCompliances/ogStatusGroups). It is deployed on Opengear console servers and remote-access/out-of-band management appliances used to provide serial console access to other network and server equipment. Engineers can download the OG-STATUS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in OG-STATUS-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
- Opengear console servers and out-of-band management appliances
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll ogSerialPortStatusTable/ogSerialPortStatusEntry indexed by ogSerialPortStatusIndex/ogSerialPortStatusPort to check each console port's ogSerialPortStatusSpeed and hardware handshake lines. Seeing ogSerialPortStatusDCD or ogSerialPortStatusDSR drop to a down state would reveal that a connected device has lost its serial link, while stagnant ogSerialPortStatusRxBytes/ogSerialPortStatusTxBytes counters indicate no console traffic is flowing even though the port shows as physically connected.
What Can Be Monitored
- serial port RX/TX byte counters
- serial port speed
- DCD/DTR/DSR/CTS/RTS signal states
- per-port operational status
