What Is STEELHEAD-EX-MIB?

STEELHEAD-EX-MIB is a Riverbed Technology, Inc. proprietary MIB (built on RBT-MIB) reporting system and WAN-optimization-peer status for the Steelhead EX appliance, including a path-probing error trap. Its objects cover model, serial number, system version/clock, overall health, service status/uptime, a process table (index, name, status, failure count), a peer table (index, hostname, version, address, model), system health, optimization-service status, system temperature, health notes, and a neighbor table. As a status/performance MIB it lets an administrator confirm WAN-optimization peer health and get alerted on path-probing errors on a Riverbed Steelhead EX appliance. It is deployed on Riverbed Technology Steelhead EX WAN-optimization appliances. Engineers can download the STEELHEAD-EX-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in STEELHEAD-EX-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

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using nghAggrConnFailures OID:

Select a Riverbed Technology Steelhead EX WAN-optimization appliance 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 nghAggrConnFailures into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of connection failures. 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 Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
