Description: Monitors VMware NSX network virtualization manager, controller cluster, and transport node 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 VMWARE-NSX-MANAGER-MIB?

VMWARE-NSX-MANAGER-MIB is a VMware vendor MIB that defines SNMP trap notifications sent by NSX Manager, the central management component of VMware's NSX network virtualization platform for software-defined data centers (SDDC). It exposes event-oriented objects — event code, timestamp, message text, severity, and originating component — used by NSX Manager to report state changes affecting virtual networks, controllers, and transport nodes. Its monitoring focus is fault/event status of the software-defined networking control plane, letting operators detect NSX Manager, controller-cluster, or transport-node faults, configuration failures, or severity-escalating events as they happen rather than by polling counters. It depends conceptually on the broader VMware NSX/vSphere SDDC architecture (vCenter integration) though it is a self-contained trap MIB. It is typically deployed on VMware NSX Manager appliances within vSphere-based software-defined data centers. Engineers can download the VMWARE-NSX-MANAGER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in VMWARE-NSX-MANAGER-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

  • VMware NSX Manager appliances (SDDC/vSphere environments)

Monitoring Examples

An NMS receiving a trap would inspect vmwNsxMEventCode, vmwNsxMEventSeverity, and vmwNsxMEventMessage to identify what happened, cross-referencing vmwNsxMEventComponent to isolate whether the issue originated in NSX Manager, a controller, or a transport node, with vmwNsxMEventTimestamp used for event correlation. A trap with high vmwNsxMEventSeverity and vmwNsxMEventComponent pointing to a transport node would indicate a data-plane connectivity problem needing investigation.

What Can Be Monitored

  • NSX event code and severity
  • event message and timestamp
  • originating NSX component (manager/controller/transport node)
  • event count
