Description: Defines Tail-f Systems top-level OID tree for NSO and ConfD SNMP management registration.

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 TAILF-TOP-MIB?

TAILF-TOP-MIB is Tail-f Systems' (now part of Cisco, maker of NSO/ConfD) root-level MIB module that simply establishes the top of Tail-f's private enterprise OID tree used to register all other Tail-f/NSO/ConfD-related MIB modules underneath it. It does not itself expose runtime data objects, sensor readings, or configuration parameters; its sole purpose is defining the organizational OID namespace root. Because it carries no monitorable data, it has no relevance to hardware or software status monitoring on its own — any actual device state is exposed by other MIB modules registered beneath this root, not by this module. It is foundational infrastructure that other Tail-f/Cisco NSO/ConfD-related MIBs depend on for their OID placement, rather than the reverse. It is typically encountered as a supporting/root module in environments running Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) or ConfD-based network elements, rather than being polled directly, making the TAILF-TOP-MIB reference primarily useful for understanding where other Tail-f/NSO MIB objects are anchored in the OID tree.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in TAILF-TOP-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

  • vendor-neutral organizational MIB root, used by devices running Tail-f NSO/ConfD (now Cisco)

Monitoring Examples

This is a root/organizational MIB with no runtime data objects (sample_objects was empty); it defines only the top-level OID arc under which other Tail-f-related MIBs register their objects. There is no realistic monitoring scenario to describe for this module itself, since it contains no pollable instances. Any actual monitoring occurs in the separate MIB modules anchored beneath this OID root.
