1. 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.
Internet Draft Network Services Monitoring MIB November 1996
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.
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.

3. 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.
Expires May 1997 [Page 2]
Internet Draft Network Services Monitoring MIB November 1996
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.
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.
Expires May 1997 [Page 3]
Internet Draft Network Services Monitoring MIB November 1996
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.
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
Expires May 1997 [Page 4]
Internet Draft Network Services Monitoring MIB November 1996
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. Relationship to Directory Services
Use of and management of directory services already is tied up with
network service application management. There are clearly many things
which could be dealt with by directory services and protocols. We take
the line here that static configuration information is both provided by
and dealt with by directory services and protocols. The emphasis here
is on transient application status.
By placing static information in the directory, the richness and linkage
of the directory information framework does not need to be repeated in
the MIB. Static information is information which has a mean time to
change of the order of days or longer.
When information about network service applications is stored in the
directory (regardless of whether or not the network service application
makes direct use of the directory), it is recommended that a linkage be
established, so that:
(1) The managed object contains its own directory name. This allows
all directory information to be obtained by reference. This will
let a SNMP monitor capable of performing directory queries
present this information to the manager in an appropriate format.
It is intended that this will be the normal case.
(2) The directory will reference the location of the SNMP agent, so
that an SNMP capable directory query agent could probe dynamic
characteristics of the object.
(3) This approach could be extended further, so that the SNMP
attributes are modelled as directory attributes. This would
dramatically simplify the design of directory service agents that
use SNMP to obtain the information they need.
Expires May 1997 [Page 5]
Internet Draft Network Services Monitoring MIB November 1996
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.

7. 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 that performs very different functions from
this MIB.
