What is vmwEnvInIndications?

A running count of HTTP POST messages containing CIM indications (in XML) received by the SNMP agent from the CIM subsystem. An admin uses this to confirm the agent is actually receiving hardware event data from CIM providers.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.20.101
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-ENV-MIB::vmwEnvInIndications

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.20.101.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-ENV-MIB::vmwEnvInIndications.1

Start monitoring VMware ESX/ESXi hosts (IPMI/CIM hardware-subsystem alert status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the VMWARE-ENV-MIB::vmwEnvInIndications OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any VMware ESX/ESXi hosts (IPMI/CIM hardware-subsystem alert status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a VMware ESX/ESXi host (IPMI/CIM hardware-subsystem alert status) 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 vmwEnvInIndications into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of HTTP POST msgs containing CIM Indications in XML as received by agent. 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 sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
