Introduction A networked application is a realization of some well defined service on one or more host computers that is accessible via some network, uses some network for its internal operations, or both. There are a wide range of networked applications for which it is appropriate to provide SNMP monitoring of their network usage. This includes applications using both TCP/IP and OSI networking. This document defines a MIB which contains the elements common to the monitoring of any network service application. This information includes a table of all monitorable network service applications, a count of the associations (connections) to each application, and basic information about the parameters and status of each application-related association. This MIB may be used on its own for any application, and for most simple applications this will suffice. This MIB is also designed to serve as a building block which can be used in conjunction with application-specific monitoring and management. Two examples of this are MIBs defining additional variables for monitoring a Message Transfer Agent (MTA) service or a Directory Service Agent (DSA) service. It is expected that further MIBs of this nature will be specified. Freed & Kille Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 2248 Network Services MIB January 1998 This MIB does not attempt to provide facilities for management of the host or hosts the network service application runs on, nor does it provide facilities for monitoring applications that provide something other than a network service. Host resource and general application monitoring is handled by the Host Resources MIB at present; development of an additional application MIB is currently underway in the IETF. 2.

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of seven major components. They are: o RFC 1902 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. o RFC 1903 [2] defines textual conventions for SNMPv2. o RFC 1904 [3] defines conformance statements for SNMPv2. o RFC 1905 [4] defines transport mappings for SNMPv2. o RFC 1906 [5] defines the protocol operations used for network access to managed objects. o RFC 1907 [6] defines the Management Information Base for SNMPv2. o RFC 1908 [7] specifies coexistance between SNMP and SNMPv2. Freed & Kille Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 2248 Network Services MIB January 1998 The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation. 3.1. Object Definitions Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the object type. 4. Rationale for having a Network Services Monitoring MIB Much effort has been expended in developing tools to manage lower layer network facilities. However, relatively little work has been done on managing application layer entities. It is neither efficient nor reasonable to manage all aspects of application layer entities using only lower layer information. Moreover, the difficulty of managing application entities in this way increases dramatically as application entities become more complex. This leads to a substantial need to monitor applications which provide network services, particularly distributed components such as MTAs and DSAs, by monitoring specific aspects of the application itself. Reasons to monitor such components include but are not limited to measuring load, detecting broken connectivity, isolating system failures, and locating congestion. In order to manage network service applications effectively two requirements must be met: (1) It must be possible to monitor a large number of components (typical for a large organization). (2) Application monitoring must be integrated into general network management. This specification defines simple read-only access; this is sufficient to determine up/down status and provide an indication of a broad class of operational problems. Freed & Kille Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 2248 Network Services MIB January 1998 4.1. General Relationship to Other MIBs This MIB is intended to only provide facilities common to the monitoring of any network service application. It does not provide all the facilities necessary to monitor any specific application. Each specific type of network service application is expected to have a MIB of its own that makes use of these common facilities. 4.2. Restriction of Scope The framework provided here is very minimal; there is a lot more that could be done. For example: (1) General network service application configuration monitoring and control. (2) Detailed examination and modification of individual entries in service-specific request queues. (3) Probing to determine the status of a specific request (e.g. the location of a mail message with a specific message-id). (4) Requesting that certain actions be performed (e.g. forcing an immediate connection and transfer of pending messages to some specific system). All these capabilities are both impressive and useful. However, these capabilities would require provisions for strict security checking. These capabilities would also mandate a much more complex design, with many characteristics likely to be fairly implementation-specific. As a result such facilities are likely to be both contentious and difficult to implement. This document religiously keeps things simple and focuses on the basic monitoring aspect of managing applications providing network services. The goal here is to provide a framework which is simple, useful, and widely implementable. 4.3. Configuration Information This MIB attempts to provide information about the operational aspects of an application. Further information about the actual configuration of a given application may be kept in other places; the applDirectoryName or applURL may be used to point to places where such information is kept. Freed & Kille Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 2248 Network Services MIB January 1998 5. Application Objects This MIB defines a set of general purpose attributes which would be appropriate for a range of applications that provide network services. Both OSI and non-OSI services can be accomodated. Additional tables defined in extensions to this MIB provide attributes specific to specific network services. A table is defined which will have one row for each operational network service application on the system. The only static information held on the application is its name. All other static information should be obtained from various directory services. The applDirectoryName is an external key, which allows an SNMP MIB entry to be cleanly related to the X.500 Directory. In SNMP terms, the applications are grouped in a table called applTable, which is indexed by an integer key applIndex. The type of the application will be determined by one or both of: (1) Additional MIB variables specific to the applications. (2) An association to the application of a specific protocol. 6.

Changes made since RFC 1565 The only changes made to this document since it was issued as RFC 1565 [11] are the following: (1) applDescription and applURL fields have been added. These fields are intended to identify and describe the application. (2) A number of DESCRIPTION fields have been reworded, hopefully making them clearer. (3) The new "quiescing" state has been added to applOperStatus. (4) The prose about "dynamic single threaded processes" has been removed -- it was simply too confusing. (5) Various RFC references have been updated to refer to more recent versions. (6) The MIB has been renamed from APPLICATION-MIB to NETWORK- SERVICES-MIB. This was done because an application MIB is now under development within the IETF that provides very different functionality from this MIB. 8. Acknowledgements This document is a product of the Mail and Directory Management (MADMAN) Working Group. It is based on an earlier MIB designed by S. Kille, T. Lenggenhager, D. Partain, and W. Yeong. The Electronic Mail Association's TSC committee was instrumental in providing feedback on and suggesting enhancements to RFC 1565 [11] that have led to the present document. 9.

However, this MIB does provide passive information about the existance, type, and configuration of applications on a given host that could potentially indicate some sort of vulnerability. Finally, the information MIB provides about network usage could be used to analyze network traffic patterns. Freed & Kille Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 2248 Network Services MIB January 1998 11.
