Description: Monitors Barracuda Networks (formerly phion) NG Firewall policy rule statistics, VPN tunnel state, and threat detection counters.

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 PHION-MIB?

PHION-MIB is a Barracuda Networks proprietary MIB (enterprise OID 10704, phion netfence/Barracuda NG Firewall heritage) reporting service, hotfix, hardware-sensor, RAID, and VPN status on Barracuda NG Firewall appliances. Its objects cover per-box and per-server service state tables, the installed phion release and applied hotfixes (name, install time), a hardware-sensor table (name, type, value), a RAID-event table (severity, time, text), and VPN-tunnel status. As a hardware/software-status MIB it lets an administrator confirm which services are running, which hotfixes are applied, and watch RAID events and VPN tunnel status. It is deployed on Barracuda NG Firewall appliances. Engineers can download the PHION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • Barracuda NG Firewall appliances

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks boxServiceState across critical services and reviews raidEvents to confirm overall appliance health on a Barracuda NG Firewall.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using rate OID:

Select a Barracuda NG Firewall appliance (services/hotfix/RAID/VPN status) 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 rate 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 rate in kbit/sec. 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.
