Description: Defines Sun Management Center trap notifications for monitored resource threshold and fault events.
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 SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-TRAP-MIB?
SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-TRAP-MIB defines the SNMP trap notifications forwarded by the Sun Management Center (SunMC) agent, a systems-monitoring platform historically used to watch Sun/Oracle SPARC and x86 servers. Rather than defining polled tables of counters, it enumerates event notifications and their variable bindings that flag threshold crossings and fault conditions detected on monitored resources. It is explicitly a fault/event-monitoring module: traps signal that a monitored hardware or software resource has moved into an alarm, warning, or unknown state, so a management station learns about failing components or threshold breaches as they happen rather than by polling. It has no stated dependency beyond standard SNMPv1/v2 trap conventions, since it layers Sun's own notification objects under the standard trap mechanism. It is typically deployed alongside the broader Sun Management Center agent infrastructure in Sun/Solaris data centers where a central console subscribes to these traps for real-time alerting. Engineers can download the SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-TRAP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SUNMANAGEMENTCENTER-TRAP-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
- Sun/Oracle SPARC and x86 servers running Sun Management Center agent
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would configure a trap receiver to subscribe to notifications carrying objects like statusOID and moduleInfo, which identify which monitored module (under the sun.prod.sunsymon.agent.base tree) raised the event and what its new status is. A trap referencing refreshOID combined with a changed statusOID value would indicate that a previously healthy resource watched by the SunMC agent has crossed into a warning or critical state. This lets an operator react to a degrading server component without continuously polling every monitored object.
What Can Be Monitored
- resource threshold-crossing events
- fault/alarm state changes
- monitored module status
- agent-generated trap identifiers
