Description: Manages SurviveIT network alarm events, severity levels, and alarm state tracking.
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 SurviveIT-Alarm-MIB?
SurviveIT-Alarm-MIB is a SurviveIT proprietary MIB for managing network alarm events, exposing configuration for how the SurviveIT monitoring agent detects and reports alarm conditions along with severity/state tracking for those alarms. It provides software revision identification for the agent itself, trap-enable and poll-interval configuration controlling how actively the agent checks for alarm conditions, and a named alarm server plus human-readable trap description text delivered with each alarm event. Monitoring it is chiefly about software/agent health and event status: confirming the agent's revision is current and consistent across a fleet, verifying trap generation and polling are enabled at the expected interval, and using the descriptive trap text to quickly identify which specific fault condition triggered an alert. The available material does not indicate an explicit dependency on other standard MIBs, suggesting it is a self-contained alarm-reporting extension. It is typically deployed alongside the SurviveIT network monitoring/alerting platform, where SurviveIT-Alarm-MIB SNMP monitoring surfaces fault conditions from monitored network elements to a central alarm server.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SurviveIT-Alarm-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
- SurviveIT network monitoring/alarm agent (software-based, deployed on monitored network elements or servers)
Monitoring Examples
An admin checks surviveITNLMRevMajor and surviveITNLMRevMinor to confirm the monitoring agent's software revision is current and consistent across devices before troubleshooting a reported alarm. surviveITParmsTrapEnable and surviveITParmsPollTime show whether alarm trap generation is enabled and how frequently the agent polls for alarm conditions, so a "no alarms" state can be distinguished from a disabled or slow-polling agent. surviveITtrapdesc supplies the human-readable description text carried in each alarm trap, letting an operator immediately understand the nature of the fault reported against surviveITServerName without decoding raw trap OIDs.
What Can Be Monitored
- NLM agent software revision (major/minor)
- alarm trap enable state
- alarm poll interval
- alarm server name
- alarm trap description text
