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 Wellfleet-STA-MIB?

Wellfleet-STA-MIB is a Wellfleet Communications (later Bay Networks) vendor-specific MIB that implements a generic Statistical Threshold and Alarm (STA) framework for any polled MIB object on Wellfleet routers, rather than modeling a specific protocol. It lets an operator attach a threshold definition to an arbitrary object identifier via wfStaThresholdTable (indexed by wfStaThresholdObject), configuring low/medium/high marks (wfStaThresholdLowValue/MediumValue/HighValue), evaluation direction (wfStaThresholdAction: greaterthan/lessthan), units (absolute vs. per-second), and per-severity event levels, while wfStaPollInterval controls how often thresholds are evaluated. Each entry tracks live state in wfStaThresholdState (valid, held, ignored, suspended, invalid), current computed value (wfStaThresholdCurrentValue), and cumulative exception/alarm counters per severity level. This makes it useful as a generic early-warning mechanism for attaching a threshold to an interface error counter or CPU utilization object without needing a dedicated vendor MIB for that condition. It depends on Wellfleet-COMMON-MIB for the wfStaGroup subtree, and administrators can download the Wellfleet-STA-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Wellfleet-STA-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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator creates a wfStaThresholdTable entry pointing wfStaThresholdObject at a WAN interface's error counter with wfStaThresholdHighValue set to a per-second error rate; repeated wfStaThresholdHighAlarms increments or a wfStaThresholdState of held would indicate the interface is experiencing a sustained error condition needing investigation.

What Can Be Monitored

threshold object state (valid/held/ignored/suspended)
low/medium/high threshold marks and current value
per-severity exception and alarm counters
polling interval and threshold enable/disable

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
wfSta	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.1
INT wfStaDisable	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Enables or disables statistical thresholds and alarms
INT wfStaPollInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The polling interval (in seconds) in which to examine objects in the threshold table for threshold exceptions.
wfStaThresholdTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2		not-accessible	A table containing threshold targets
wfStaThresholdEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1		not-accessible	Information about a particular threshold object
INT wfStaThresholdDelete	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	The row (object) deletion attribute for this threshold
INT wfStaThresholdDisable	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The enable/disable attribute for this threshold. Setting this attribute to disabled, causes the threshold to be ignored in subsequent polling periods.
INT wfStaThresholdState	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The state of this threshold. An invalid state means that the object could not be retrieved from the mib. A held state indicates that the maximum successive exceptions for this threshold has been reached and that alarms will not be generated until an exception occurrs at a new level or no exception occurs for the specified number of hold down intervals at which point it becomes valid again. An ignored state, indicates that this threshold is disabled and is not being polled. A valid state indicates that this threshold is under examination each polling period and no errors have been encountered evaluating this object for exceptions. A suspended state indicates that the object was not an integer type; user should manually delete the suspended object.
OID wfStaThresholdObject	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.4	OBJECT IDENTIFIER	read-only	The identifier of the mib object to examine for threshold exceptions.
GAU wfStaThresholdLowValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.5	Gauge	read-write	The mark for low threshold exceptions
INT wfStaThresholdLowEventLevel	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	The severity level of the event log message (alarm) to be generated on low exception
GAU wfStaThresholdMediumValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.7	Gauge	read-write	The mark for medium threshold exceptions
INT wfStaThresholdMediumEventLevel	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.8	INTEGER	read-write	The severity level of the event log message (alarm) to be generated on medium exception
GAU wfStaThresholdHighValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.9	Gauge	read-write	The mark for high threshold exceptions
INT wfStaThresholdHighEventLevel	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.10	INTEGER	read-write	The severity level of the event log message (alarm) to be generated on high exception
GAU wfStaThresholdCurrentValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.11	Gauge	read-only	The most recently computed threshold value for the polled object.
INT wfStaThresholdUnits	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.12	INTEGER	read-write	The units to be used in the determination of threshold exceptions. Absolute means that when the value object reaches one of the three thresholds, an exception is generated. PerSecond means that when the value/second reaches one of the three threshold values, an exception is generated.
INT wfStaThresholdAction	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.13	INTEGER	read-write	How the threshold should be evaluated with respect to the threshold marks
INT wfStaThresholdMaxSuccessiveAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.14	INTEGER	read-write	The maximum number of successive alarms that can be generated for this object before it enters a HELD state. A successive alarms is defined as two or more successive polling periods where an alarm is generated at the same level.
INT wfStaThresholdHoldDownIntervals	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.15	INTEGER	read-write	The number of exception free polling intervals which an object in a held state must pass before transitioning to a valid state.
CTR wfStaThresholdLowExceptions	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.16	Counter	read-only	The number of low threshold exceptions.
CTR wfStaThresholdLowAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.17	Counter	read-only	The number of low threshold alarms.
CTR wfStaThresholdMediumExceptions	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.18	Counter	read-only	The number of medium threshold exceptions.

CTR wfStaThresholdHighAlarms	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.21	Counter	read-only	The number of high threshold alarms.
STR wfStaThresholdLabel	1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.3.2.6.2.1.22	DisplayString	read-write	The threshold lable string configurable by user. The string would be returned in the trap and will show in the log as string wfSyncRxOctets.2.1 instead of the ASN.1 form.
