Description: Manages server management objects including health, inventory, and operational status.

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 SVRMGT-MIB?

SVRMGT-MIB is a generic server-management module, evidently rooted in a DEC/Compaq Enterprise Management Architecture (EMA) heritage given its "dec"/"ema" naming, that provides a configurable threshold-alarm framework for server health monitoring rather than a fixed set of sensors. It exposes a threshold table where each entry names a target variable to watch, a sample interval, an alarm type, and the resulting alarm status, along with module revision and trap-enable controls. Its monitoring value is in software-driven hardware/software health alarming: an administrator points a threshold entry at an underlying metric such as CPU load, temperature, or disk usage, and the agent raises a trap when the sampled value crosses the configured bound, so it functions as a monitoring layer on top of whatever base hardware metrics the platform exposes. It depends on another underlying hardware/environmental MIB to supply the actual variables referenced by each threshold entry, since SVRMGT-MIB itself only defines the alarm mechanism. It is deployed on server platforms using DEC/Compaq-derived EMA agents that need proactive, operator-configurable health alarms. Engineers can download the SVRMGT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • server hardware managed via a DEC/Compaq Enterprise Management Architecture (EMA)-style agent

Monitoring Examples

An operator creates a row in svrThresholdTable (indexed by svrThrIndex, with svrAlarmNextThrIndex indicating the next free slot) that sets svrThrVariableName to the target OID (e.g., a CPU-load or temperature sensor), svrThrSampleInterval for polling frequency, and svrThrAlarmType/bounds for the trigger condition. When the sampled value crosses the configured bound, svrThrStatus changes and, if svrAlarmEnableTraps is set, a trap fires to the management station. This lets an operator build a custom alarm - for example, alert when CPU load exceeds 90% for a sustained interval - without the underlying firmware needing to predefine that specific alarm case.

What Can Be Monitored

  • configurable threshold alarm entries
  • threshold/alarm status
  • monitored variable per threshold
  • sample interval configuration
  • alarm trap enable state
