1. Introduction

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing relational database (RDBMS) implementations.


Page 2

2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major components. They are:

  • RFC 1442 [1] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.

  • STD 17, RFC 1213 [2] defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects for the Internet suite of protocols.

  • RFC 1445 [3] which defines the administrative and other architectural aspects of the framework.

  • RFC 1448 [4] which defines the protocol used for network access to managed objects.

  • RFC 1443 [5] which describes textual conventions for the framework.

The framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of experimentation and evaluation. In particular, the RDBMS-MIB can be seen as an extension of

  • RFC 1565 [6] which defines the MIB for monitoring network service applications.

2.1. 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.

3. Overview

The RDBMS-MIB contains objects that may be used to manage relational database implementations. Specifically, it contains information on installed databases, servers, and on the relation of databases and servers. The terms used in this database are described below.


Page 3

3.1. Terminology

Vendors and Products
are providers of database systems on a host. These vendors may have more than one database product that is manageable through this MIB. On a host, there may be systems from multiple vendors, multiple systems from a single vendor, or any other combination. There may be a private MIB for each vendor, and this may be located using the PrivateMibOID objects in some of the tables.

Databases
are collections of interrelated data organized according to a schema to serve one or more applications. A database is, for purposes of this MIB, a collection of tables whose
organization is based on the relational model. There may be one or more databases available in each system on the host from each product. In the MIB, data about databases is captured in the rdbmsDbTable and the rdbmsDbInfoTable, each with one row per database.

Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
A collection of integrated services which support database management and together support and control the creation, use and maintenance of relational databases. Servers as defined in this MIB provide the functions of the RDBMS.

Servers
are entities that provide access to databases. For this MIB, servers are defined to be entities that may exist
independently of other servers. A server may or may not be a single process, based on its independence from other processes. In this MIB, information about servers is captured in the rdbmsSvrTable, the rdbmsSvrInfoTable, each with one row per server extending the applTable from the APPLICATION-MIB of RFC 1565. The rdbmsSvrTable and
rdbmsSvrInfoTable are both indexed by the applIndex of that MIB.

Associations
Inbound associations are local or remote conversations, usually instances of the SQL CONNECT statement, as made visible in servers. The MIB does not currently reveal individual associations; there are association counters in the dbmsSvrInfoTable and the applTable.

There are also relationships between servers and databases. All obvious relationships are possible and supported:


Page 4

  • 1 database : 1 server

  • 1 database : many servers

  • many databases : 1 server

  • many databases : many servers

3.2. Structure and Features

The information in this MIB module is organized into nine tables, twelve potentially writable objects, and two traps, as follows.

3.2.1. Tables

  • databases installed on a host/system (rdbmsDbTable)

  • actively opened databases (rdbmsDbInfoTable)

  • database configuration parameters (rdbmsDbParamTable)

  • database limited resources (rdbmsDbLimitedResourceTable)

  • database servers installed on a system (rdbmsSrvTable)

  • active database servers (rdbmsSrvInfoTable)

  • configuration parameters for a server (rdbmsSrvParamTable)

  • server limited resources (rdbmsSrvLimitedResourceTable)

  • relation of servers and databases on a host (rdbmsRelTable)

These entities have broad applicability among database systems, and are enough for many monitoring tasks. They are far from adequate for detailed management or performance monitoring of specific database products. This gap is expected to be filled with vendor and product specific MIBs addressing the entities that have not been codified here.


Page 5

3.2.2. Writable objects

The MIB requires no writable objects for conformance. There is no expectation that RDBMS systems may be actively managed through this MIB. However, the RDBMS-MIB supports the capability to modify the following objects if the implementor so chooses.

  • rdbmsDbContact

  • rdbmsDbInfoSizeAllocated

  • rdbmsDbParamCurrValue

  • rdbmsDbParamComment rdbmsDbLimitedResourceLimit

  • rdbmsDbLimitedResourceDescription

  • rdbmsSrvContact

  • rdbmsSrvInfoMaxInboundAssociations

  • rdbmsSrvParamCurrValue

  • rdbmsSrvParamComment

  • rdbmsSrvLimitedResourceLimit

  • rdbmsSrvLimitedResourceDescription

3.2.3. Traps

The RDBMS-MIB contains two traps:

  • rdbmsStateChange

  • rdbmsOutOfSpace

applOperStatus - up(1) means operational and available for general use. down(2) means the server is not available for use, but is known to the agent.
