Description: Xedia cron batch-job scheduler MIB controlling the administrative and operational state of the scheduled-task mechanism in Xedia routers

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 XEDIA-CRON-MIB?

The XEDIA-CRON-MIB is a proprietary Xedia Corporation MIB for the 'Cron' batch-job scheduler mechanism built into Xedia routers, which runs scheduled administrative tasks on the device. It exposes the scheduler's administrative and operational state, a configurable scheduling interval, logging controls, and a table of individually scheduled batch jobs with identifiers and scheduling fields such as month. Its monitoring value is chiefly software/service status: confirming the cron mechanism is administratively enabled and operationally running, verifying when the last, current, and next scheduled runs occurred, and reviewing entries in the batch job table to confirm scheduled tasks are firing as expected. It has no apparent dependency on other standard MIBs, being a fully proprietary Xedia mechanism. It would be deployed on Xedia routers where administrators rely on scheduled batch jobs for periodic configuration or maintenance tasks tracked through the XEDIA-CRON-MIB MIB.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEDIA-CRON-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

Xedia router
Xedia access device

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll xcronAdmin and xcronOper to confirm the scheduler is enabled and actually running, then compare xcronDateTimeScheduleNext against xcronDateTimeScheduleLast to verify scheduled jobs are firing on time. Entries in xcronBatchTable/xcronBatchEntry, indexed by xcronBatchID and including fields like xcronBatchMonth, describe individual scheduled jobs; a job whose last-run time falls unexpectedly far in the past would indicate the scheduler stalled or a job failed to execute. xcronLoggingAdmin and xcronLogClear let an operator manage and reset the scheduler's log for troubleshooting.

What Can Be Monitored

cron scheduler admin/operational state
last/current/next scheduled run time
scheduled batch job entries
scheduler logging status

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
xediaCronMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13			This module defines objects for management of the 'Cron' batch job scheduler mechanism in Xedia devices.
xcronObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1
xcronGeneral	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1
INT xcronAdmin	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	The administrative status of the 'Cron mechanism' in the router. The value 'enabled(1)' indicates that the batch scheduler will try to become active. The value 'disabled(2)' indicates that no attempt will be made to start the Cron batch scheduler. Changes to this object require a node reset in order to take affect.
INT xcronOper	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	The Operational status of the 'Cron mechanism' in the router. An 'up' status indicates that the scheduler is activated and running normally. The 'down' status indicates that the scheduler is NOT running. A 'stalled' status indicates that the scheduler is trying to run, but may not have enough resources to fulfill its jobs.
INT xcronInterval	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	The number of minutes the scheduler sleeps. After waiting for the configured number of minutes, or any configuration changes, the scheduler wakes up and checks for any jobs that need to be run. Also, a change to this parameter only takes affect AFTER the scheduler completes its next scheduling pass.
INT xcronLoggingAdmin	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.4	INTEGER	read-write	The administrative status of the 'logging' mechanism to attempt to retain as much status information as possible for each transaction that is performed. Also, a change to this parameter only takes affect AFTER the scheduler completes its next scheduling pass.
INT xcronLogClear	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	The action to CLEAR all log messages of the list of batch jobs. When read, this object always returns the value 'ready(1)'. When set to 'clear(2)', the log messages of all batch jobs will be cleared.
STR xcronDateTimeScheduleLast	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.6	DisplayString	read-only	The date and time of the LAST Scheduling pass.
STR xcronDateTimeScheduleCurrent	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.7	DisplayString	read-only	The current date and time relating to the Scheduler.
STR xcronDateTimeScheduleNext	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.1.8	DisplayString	read-only	The date and time of the NEXT Scheduling pass.
xcronObjectTables	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2
xcronBatchTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1		not-accessible	A list of cron batch entries.
xcronBatchEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1		not-accessible	An entry containing cron batch job information.
INT xcronBatchID	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.1	INTEGER	not-accessible	The index of the table.
BIT xcronBatchMonth	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.2	Bits	read-create	The bit mask associated with the Month of the year portion of the date in which to execute the associated command.
BIT xcronBatchDayOfTheMonth	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.3	Bits	read-create	The bit mask associated with the Day of the Month portion of the date to execute the associated command.
BIT xcronBatchDayOfTheWeek	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.4	Bits	read-create	The bit mask associated with the Day of the Week portion of the date to execute the associated command.
BIT xcronBatchHour	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.5	Bits	read-create	The bit mask associated with the Hour of the day portion of the date to execute the associated command.
BIT xcronBatchMinute	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.6	Bits	read-create	The bit mask associated with the Minute of the Hour portion of the date to execute the associated command.
STR xcronBatchDateTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.7	DisplayString	read-only	The formatted date/time string associated with the entry.
STR xcronBatchLogMessage	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.8	DisplayString	read-only	The log message associated with the entry. It contains errors or success messages, generated from the system.
STR xcronBatchCommand	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.9	DisplayString	read-create	The CLI command to execute. It can be a simple command, a series of commands, the execution of a TCL procedure, or the sourcing of a script file.
INT xcronBatchScheduleStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.10	INTEGER	read-only	The most recent scheduling status of the batch entry.
ROW xcronBatchRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.1.2.1.1.11	RowStatus	read-create	This object is used to add and remove entries from the table.
xcronConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.2
xcronCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.2.1
xcronCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.13.2.1.1			The compliance statement for all agents that support this MIB. A compliant agent implements all objects defined in this MIB.
