Issue/Introduction

How to query and test the most relevant Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Object Identifiers (OID) for Symantec Messaging Gateway.

Environment

Symantec Messaging Gateway 10.x and later.

Resolution

Object Identifiers (OID)

An OID, in the context of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), consists of the object identifier for an object in a Management Information Base (MIB).

Management Information Base (MIB)

SNMP itself does not define which information (which variables) a managed system should offer. Rather, SNMP uses an extensible design, where the available information is defined by management information bases (MIBs). MIBs describe the structure of the management data of a device subsystem; they use a hierarchical namespace containing object identifiers (OID). Each OID identifies a variable that can be read or set via SNMP. 

SNMP on SMG

All SNMP OIDs that can be queried on SMG can be observed by downloading the MIB files provided with the appliance (Administration > SNMP > Enable > MIBs).

Testing

To facilitate testing with SNMP queries and traps, it is recommended to avail of a MIB browser client/tool such as the iReasoning MIB Browser (http://ireasoning.com/mibbrowser.shtml)

The steps below should help in testing SNMP on SMG:

  1. Setup SNMP on SMG. See the SMG Admin Guide.
  2. Download all MIBs provided by SMG from the SNMP Settings page.
  3. Copy all MIBs into a folder.
  4. Load all SMG MIBs into the MIB Browser client.

Relevant Messaging Gateway SNMP OIDs

Host

  • Name: sysDescr

MTA

Note: SMG may use up to three MTA instances, therefore each OID has and additional last digit indicating the MTA queue (.1 / .2 / .3).
OIDs associated with the MTA queue, like "queueSize", "queuedMessages", and "messageRate", will yield results exclusively for an appliance designated as a "scanner" or a Combo-box (Control Center and Scanner).
