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 PERFORMANCE-MIB?

PERFORMANCE-MIB is a SAGEM network equipment MIB describing performance records and associated notifications for monitored interfaces, going through several revisions that migrated it to modern NOTIFICATION-TYPE conventions and made threshold objects read-write. It exposes performance counters and configurable thresholds for measures such as unavailable seconds (UAS), severely errored seconds (SES), errored seconds (ES), and background block errors (BBE), which are standard transmission-quality metrics. It is used to monitor the software-tracked performance/quality status of interfaces and protocol layers on SAGEM devices, with threshold-crossing traps providing early warning of degrading line quality rather than reporting on chassis hardware sensors directly. It follows conventions similar to the IETF's performance-monitoring MIBs (e.g., DS1/DS3, SONET) in its use of standard error-second metrics, though it is a SAGEM-specific implementation. It is typically deployed on SAGEM transmission or access network equipment, where PERFORMANCE-MIB SNMP monitoring is required to track line-quality performance.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PERFORMANCE-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

SAGEM transmission/access equipment
vendor-specific network device

Monitoring Examples

Because sample_objects for this MIB were not provided, a realistic scenario is inferred from the module description: an operator would configure thresholdUas, thresholdSes, thresholdEs, and thresholdBbe to set acceptable error-second limits per interface, then rely on notification traps to fire when actual counts exceed these thresholds. A rising SES count against a static thresholdSes value would indicate a degrading transmission line needing attention. Historical performance records would be reviewed to correlate quality degradation with maintenance events.

What Can Be Monitored

unavailable seconds (UAS)
severely errored seconds (SES)
errored seconds (ES)
background block errors (BBE)
performance threshold-crossing traps

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cptUAS OID:

Select an SAGEM transmission/access equipment (performance records/quality thresholds) 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 cptUAS 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 number of UnAvailable Seconds mesured. 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 Gauge32-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.
