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 As a "legacy" status/alert MIB it is described as an older module superseded by newer Opengear MIBs, and has no explicit noted dependency on other standard MIBs beyond the standard SNMPv2-CONF conformance framework objects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

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ogSerialPortStatusRxBytes OID:

Select an Opengear console servers/out-of-band management appliance (legacy status/alert MIB) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type ogSerialPortStatusRxBytes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the serial port bytes received. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
