What Is WSA-TRAP-MIB?

WSA-TRAP-MIB defines SNMP trap/notification objects for a WSA (Web Security Appliance) style appliance, covering security policy violations, blocked-content events, and system health alerts, alongside underlying appliance inventory objects. It exposes hardware inventory data (machine type, CPU type/count/frequency, installed memory) plus software/service identifiers (server type, agent/software version, management-server role) that characterize the specific appliance raising an alert. It explicitly supports monitoring hardware and software status: server uptime, CPU count/frequency, memory size, and agent software version are all exposed, letting an admin correlate a security trap with the exact hardware/software profile of the box that generated it. It likely depends on the vendor's broader appliance/enterprise MIB tree for base system identification conventions shared across its product line. It is deployed in secure web gateway environments where security teams monitor WSA appliances for policy violations and appliance health degradation, with traps forwarded to a SIEM or network management system, and administrators can download the WSA-TRAP-MIB file to load its trap definitions into that platform.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WSA-TRAP-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

  • Web Security Appliance (WSA)-class secure web gateway appliance

Monitoring Examples

An admin polling wsaServerUptime and wsaAgentVersion can confirm the appliance is running and identify which software release is deployed, while wsaNumberOfCpu, wsaCpuType, and wsaCpuFrequency describe its processor configuration and wsaMemory reports installed RAM for capacity/inventory audits. wsaMachineName and wsaSMCName identify the specific box and its relationship to a management console, so when a WSA-TRAP-MIB security-event trap fires, the admin can immediately tell which physical machine (via wsaMachineType/wsaServerType) triggered it. wsaIsManagementServer clarifies whether that box is itself acting in a management role, which affects how the alert should be triaged.

What Can Be Monitored

  • server uptime
  • CPU type/count/frequency
  • installed memory
  • agent/software version
  • machine/server type identification
  • management-server role flag
