Introduction and Overview + + This document furthers the work begun in the systems application MIB + [31]. + + The development of the "Host Resources MIB" [10], "Network Services + Monitoring MIB" [23], "Mail Monitoring MIB" [24], "Relational + Database Management System (RDBMS) Management Information Base (MIB) + using SMIv2" [12], "Entity MIB using SMIv2" [20], and "Applicability + of Standards Track MIBs to Management of World Wide Web Servers" [21] + provides us with a base of experience in making a variety of + applications visible to management; this specification abstracts out + the common aspects of applications management and provides a generic + base usable for the management of almost any application. + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [22]. + + Due to the design decision to not require application + instrumentation, many important topics were not handled in system + application MIB [31]. The following topics are within the scope of + this document: + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + - Support for generic application throughput measurements; + + - Providing MIB definitions that allow managed entities to + report what they considered to be units of work; + + - Providing support for generic application response time + monitoring capabilities; (Note that APIs for this purpose + have already been developed, an example of such an API is to + be found in the "Application Response Measurement (ARM) API + Guide, Version 2" [1].) + + - Provide explicit support for the management of applications + distributed within a single managed system ("local" + distribution); + + - Address generic resource management issues, including: + + - files in use; + + - I/O statistics (from the application's perspective, + not at the operating system or device driver level); + + - application-layer networking resource usage + + - Facilities for the control of applications, including: + + - Stopping application elements + + - Suspending and resuming application elements; + + - Requesting reconfiguration (e.g., SIGHUP). + + Note that these issues are addressed at least in part by other (non- + IETF) standards work, including "ITU-T Recommendation X.744 | ISO/IEC + IS 10164-18:1996" [3] and "IEEE P1387.2, POSIX System Administration + - Part 2: Software Administration" [2]. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +2. The SNMP Management Framework + + The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major + components: + + An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [26]. + + Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the + purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of + Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD + 16, RFC 1155 [4], STD 16, RFC 1212 [6] and RFC 1215 [7]. The + second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 + [15], RFC 2579 [16] and RFC 2580 [17]. + + Message protocols for transferring management information. The + first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and + described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [5]. A second version of the SNMP + message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track + protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [14] and RFC + 1906 [19]. The third version of the message protocol is called + SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [19], RFC 2572 [27] and RFC 2574 + [29]. + + Protocol operations for accessing management information. The + first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is + described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [5]. A second set of protocol + operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 + [18]. + + A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [28] and + the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [30]. + + Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed + the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are + defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI. + + This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A + MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate + translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically + equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no + translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable + information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in + SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine + readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the + MIB. + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +3. Architecture + + Object-oriented modeling techniques like subclassing and multiple + inheritance can be emulated in the SNMP information model through the + use of tables with common indexes. + + The challenge for the developer of management applications is to + recognize those situations in which various aspects of a single + logical resource are represented in several different tables, + possibly defined in different MIBs. + + Most of the management information defined here may pertain to any + number of applications in a managed system. The simplest way of + supporting this requirement within the SNMP information model is to + use tables. This means that the management information for a + particular resource may be found in one or more rows of one or more + tables; the fact that this information pertains to a single resource + may be inferred from the index values used, possibly with the support + of mapping tables. This also means that a single table may contain + management information relevant to a number of applications. This + has significant implementation implications; see the implementation + issues section below for more information. + +3.1. Relationships to other MIBs + + This section outlines the relationships of the components of this MIB + (usually in the form of common indexing structures) to: + + - the systems applications MIB [31] + + - the host resources MIB [10] + + - the network services monitoring MIB [23] + +3.1.1. Relationship to the System Application MIB + + The system application MIB defines attributes for management of + applications which can be realized without instrumenting the + application itself. This specification extends that framework to + include additional attributes which will typically require + instrumentation within the managed resource. The sysApplRunElmtIndex + is the key connection between these two MIBs; it is essential that + implementations of this MIB and of the system applications MIB + running concurrently on a given platform employ a consistent policy + for assigning this value to identify running application elements. + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +3.1.2. Relationship to the Host Resources MIB + + The Host Resources MIB [10] supplies information on the hardware, + operating system, installed and running software on a host. + + The Host Resources MIB has three hardware groups ("hrSystem", + "hrStorage" and "hrDevice") and three software groups ("hrSWRun", + "hrSWRunPerf" and "hrSWInstalled"). Of these, the software groups + are of greatest significance to this MIB. + + The software groups define management information on the software + used in the system. The information provided is grouped into (1) the + currently running, (2) the performance and (3) the installed + applications. + + The index "hrSWRunIndex" used in the "hrSWRunTable" and other tables + to identify running software by process identifier (or equivalent) + relates information in the Host Resources MIB to information in the + System Applications MIB and this MIB. It is essential that the values + assigned to hrSWRunIndex from the Host Resources MIB be consistent + with the values used for sysApplRunElmtIndex. + +3.1.3. Relationship to NSM + + The Network Services Monitoring MIB [23] is defined as the base set + of attributes for managing network applications. The Application MIB + includes information normally obtainable only from the managed + resource itself, rather than the supporting system. Due to + differences in index representation, the relationship between the + Network Services Monitoring MIB and the Application MIB is not + formally defined. + +4. MIB Structure + + This MIB is organized into several groups, which in turn are + organized into tables to provide the monitoring and control of + information relevant to the management of applications. The groups + model: + + - the service-level view of applications + + - information on open channels (files, connections, + transaction streams) in use by applications + + - historical information on former channels + + - process-level status and control information + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + These groups are organized into various tables. Information for a + particular running managed application appears in the form of entries + in the appropriate tables. The tables are: + + - the tables providing a service-level view, including: + + - the service name to service instance table + + - the service instance to service name table + + - the service instance to running application element + table + + - the running application element to service instance + table + + - the tables providing information on I/O channels, including: + + - the table of open channels + + - the table of open files + + - the open connections table + + - the transaction statistics tables + + - historical information on I/O channels + + - the running application element status and control group + + - the running application element status table + + - the running application element control table + + In order to support SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 environments, in cases + where counter objects may potentially advance very rapidly, where + sixty-four bit counters have been used thirty-two bit counters + reporting the low-order thirty-two bits of the value have also been + defined. + + Since rows in most of these tables will come and go with the running + application elements whose information is contained in them, + sysUpTime.0 is not appropriate as a discontinuity indicator for + counters in these tables. By defining separate discontinuity + indicators for the rows in these tables, entries can come and go as + needed without causing other objects to appear to have + discontinuities. As required by [15], the discontinuity indicators + for the various information objects in these tables are identified in + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + the relevant DESCRIPTION clauses. Note that a discontinuity in one + of these counters does not imply a sysUpTime.0 discontinuity, nor + does a sysUpTime.0 discontinuity imply a discontinuity in any of + these counters. + +4.1. The service-level tables + + The service-level tables permit the identification of one or more + instances of named services on a system, and the association of + running application elements to these services. + + Service names are represented as human-readable strings, using values + assigned by IANA where possible. The allocation of unique values for + service instance identifiers is a local administrative issue; the + values allocated must be constant for the lifetime of the service + instance, and re-use of values should be avoided. + + It is important to understand that a service is not the same thing as + a protocol. Rather, some services may be at least partially + described by the protocol(s) used to provide that service. + + In deciding what should or should not be considered a service, the + following factors merit consideration: + + - is there an identifiable set of resources associated with + providing this service? + + - is there a reasonably long-lived server or client process? + + Following this reasoning, one can see where SMTP and HTTP service + providers would be good candidates for classification as services for + purposes of application management, where finger probably would not. + Of course, implementors of this MIB are free to define additional + services. An applicability statement may be an appropriate vehicle + for standardizing how a specific service's information is reported + using this MIB. + +4.1.1. The service name to service instance table + + The service name to service instance table uses the service name as + its primary key, and the service instance identifier as its secondary + key. It facilitates the identification and lookup of the instances + of a given service in a system. + + + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +4.1.2. The service instance to service name table + + The service instance to service name table uses the service instance + identifier as its primary key, and the service name as its secondary + key. Given a service instance identifier, it facilitates the lookup + of the name of the service being provided. + +4.1.3. The service instance to running application element table + + The service instance to running application element table uses the + service instance identifier as its primary key, and the running + application element index as its secondary key. This facilitates the + identification of the set of running application elements providing a + given instance of a service. + +4.1.4. The running application element to service instance table + + The running application element to service instance table uses the + running application element index as its primary key and the service + instance identifier as its secondary key. It identifies the set of + services provided by a given running application element. + +4.2. The I/O channel group + + Information processed by an application can be modeled using the + concept of a channel. Two kinds of channels, for example, are files + and network connections. + + +-------+ + | File | + +---------+ /+-------+ + +-------------+ | Generic | / + | transaction |----| I/O |-------< + | stream | | Channel | \ +------------+ + +-------------+ +---------+ \ | open or | + \| listening | + | connection | + +------------+ + + + For each entry in the open channel table, there will be a + corresponding entry in either the open file table or the open + connection table. + + The information flowing on a channel may be structured as + transactions. When the information flow on a channel is being + monitored as a transaction stream, an entry in the transaction stream + table will represent this fact and the associated information about + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + that stream. + + To facilitate traversal of these tables and retrieval of information + relevant to a specific running application element or service + instances, the initial indexes of these tables are the same. In each + case, the first index determines whether the second index is + interpreted as a running application element identifier or as a + service instance identifier. The third index serves to uniquely + identify a channel (and consequently, an open connection or file) in + the context of a running application element or service instance. + + The transaction stream summary table contains per-stream summaries of + transaction statistics. The transaction flow statistics table + contains statistics broken into both transmit and receive counts for + requests and responses on each stream. The transaction kind + statistics table contains information further broken down by + transaction kind. + + The transaction tables have a common structure for their indexing, + with additional indexes added for increasing detail. The initial + three indexes are the same as all the other tables in this group, + serving to uniquely identify each transaction stream. + +4.2.1. The open channels table + + The following information is available in this table: + + - time at which the channel was opened + + - number of read requests + + - number of bytes read + + - time at which most recent read operation was initiated + + - number of write requests + + - number of bytes written + + - time at which most recent write operation was initiated + +4.2.2. The open files table + + The open files table contains one entry for each file in use by a + manageable running application element. (See "Definitions of + System-Level Managed Objects for Applications" [31] for a detailed + definition of a running application element.) The purpose of this + table is to identify the files in use and to record information + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + peculiar to files not already covered in the open channel table. + + If multiple running application elements open the same file, there + will be an entry for each running application element opening that + file. Similarly, if a running application element opens a file + multiple times, there will be an entry in this table for the file + corresponding to each open. + + The task of combining the information for file activity from this + table (organized by running application element) into per-application + statistics can be accomplished by a manager using the System + Application MIB's [31] sysApplInstallPkgTable to find the installed + application, the sysApplRunTable to find the running instances of + that application, and the sysApplElmtRunTable to find the relevant + values of sysApplElmtRunIndex. The manager, armed with a set of + values for sysApplElmtRunIndex, is now able to retrieve the relevant + portions of the applOpenFileTable and other tables in this MIB. + + The following information is available in this table: + + - file name + + - file size + + - current mode (read/write) of this file + + By convention, the names "stdin", "stdout" and "stderr" are used when + these streams cannot be resolved to actual file names. + +4.2.3. The open connections table + + This table provides information on channels that are open connections + or listeners. + + The following information is available for each connection: + + - identification of the transport protocol in use + + - near-end address and port + + - far-end address and port + + - identification of the application layer protocol in use + + + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +4.2.4. The transaction stream summary table + + The transaction stream summary table contains per-stream summaries of + transaction statistics. The simple model of a transaction used here + looks like this: + + invoker | Request | performer + | - - - - - - > | + | | + | Response | + | < - - - - - - | + | | + + + Since in some protocols it is possible for an entity to take on both + the invoker and performer roles, information here is accumulated for + transmitted and received requests, as well as for transmitted and + received responses. Counts are maintained for both transactions and + bytes transferred. The information represented in this table + includes: + + - identification of the underlying connection or file used for + this transaction stream + + - a human-readable description of this stream + + - a human-readable description of this stream's notion of what + a unit of work is + + - the cumulative amount of time spent (as an operation + invoker) waiting for responses (from queueing of request to + arrival of first response) + + - the cumulative amount of time spent (as an operation + invoker) receiving responses (time from the arrival of the + first response to the arrival of the last response in a + series of responses to a particular request) + + - the cumulative amount of time spent (as an operation + performer) handling requests (time from receipt of request + to queueing of first outgoing response) + + - the cumulative amount of time spent (as an operation + performer) sending responses (time from queuing of first + response to the last response in a series of responses to a + particular request) + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + + - the cumulative number of transactions initiated (as an + invoker) + + - the cumulative number of transactions processed (as a + performer) + +4.2.5. The transaction flow statistics table + + The transaction flow statistics table contains statistics broken into + both transmit and receive counts for requests and responses on each + stream. In addition to the service instance / running application + element and transaction stream identifier indexes, rows in this table + are indexed by flow direction (transmit or receive) and role + (requests and responses). The information in this table includes: + + - the number of transactions processed + + - the number of bytes processed + + - the time at which the most recent transaction was processed + in this flow + +4.2.6. The transaction kind statistics table + + The transaction kind statistics table contains summary information + organized by direction, request/response, and transaction kind for + each stream. The indexing of this table is like that of the + transaction flow table, with the addition of a transaction kind + index. + + - number of transactions processed + + - number of bytes processed + + - the time at which the most recent transaction of this kind + in this direction in this stream was processed + +4.3. The former channel group + + The former channel group has several tables. The former channel + control table controls the retention of history information by a + running application element or service instance. The remaining + tables parallel the structure of the channel group, with one + significant difference in indexing structure. The closed channel + index is independent from the open channel index. + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 13] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +4.3.1. The former channel control table + + The former channel control table provides control over the + accumulation of information on former connections for running + application elements and service instances. For each one, this + table, indexed by the running application element or service instance + index, controls whether information on former channels is + accumulated, how many of these history records are retained, how long + these are retained (within the lifetime of the process), and a count + of history entries that were deleted before their expiration time in + order to make room for new entries. + +4.3.2. The former channel table + + The former channel table provides historical information on channels + that have been closed. The number and lifetime of these entries is + controlled, for each running application element or service instance, + by the former channel control table. Most of the information in this + table corresponds to information in the open channel table. + + For the connection or file-specific aspects of a given former + channel, an entry will exist in the former connection table or in the + former file table. + +4.3.3. The former connection table + + For formerly open channels that were connections, connection-specific + historical information is kept in the former connection table. For + each entry in the former connection table, there will be an + identically indexed entry in the former channel table. + +4.3.4. The former file table + + For formerly open channels that were files, file-specific historical + information is kept in the former file table. For each entry in the + former file table, there will be an identically indexed entry in the + former channel table. + +4.3.5. The transaction history tables + + Two tables provide per-transaction-kind breakdowns for channels + carrying transaction-structured flows. These tables are analogous to + the transaction flow and kind statistics tables, with similar index + structures. + + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + +4.4. The running element status and control group + + The running application element status and control group has two + tables. + +4.4.1. The running application element status table + + This table provides information for a running application element. + Indexed by the sysApplElmtRunIndex, an entry in this table reports + useful information on that running element's resource usage. Entries + in this table contain: + + - current heap usage for this running application element + + - current number of open network connections for this running + application element + + - the most recent error status message issued by this running + application element + + Note that other information, such as the current number of open files + for this running application element, is available from the + sysapplElmtRunTable in [31]. + +4.4.2. The running application element control table + + This table provides rudimentary control over a running application + element. Indexed by the sysApplElmtRunIndex, an entry in this table + gives a manager with appropriate permissions the ability to suspend + and resume processing by this running element, the ability to request + reconfiguration, and the ability to terminate the running element. + + Variables in this table include: + + - a suspend/resume control + + - a reconfiguration request control + + - a termination request control + + + + + + + + + + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al.

Implementation Issues + + Unlike the system application MIB [31], in many environments support + for much of this MIB requires instrumentation built into the managed + resource. Some tables may be implemented by a single monitor + process; for others, the implementation may be distributed within the + managed system with the resources being managed. + + As a practical matter, this means that the management infrastructure + of the managed system must support different subagents taking + responsibility for different rows of a single table. This can be + supported by AgentX [25], as well as some other subagent protocols + such as [8], [9], and [11]. + + The sysApplRunElmtIndex is the key connection between this MIB and + the systems application MIB. Implementations of these two MIBs + intended to run concurrently on a given platform must employ a + consistent policy for assigning this value to running application + elements. + + Some of the objects defined in this MIB may carry a high run-time + cost in some environments. For example, tracking transaction elapsed + time could be expensive if it required two kernel calls (start and + finish) per transaction. Similarly, maintaining tables of per- + transaction information, rather than aggregating information by + transaction type or transaction stream, could have significant + storage and performance impacts. + + Unless a collision-free mechanism for allocating service instance + indexes is in place, the structure of the service-level tables makes + an index-reservation mechanism necessary. AgentX [25] is an example + of a subagent protocol capable of satisfying this requirement. + +7.

Security Considerations + + By making potentially sensitive information externally accessible, + the capabilities supported by the MIB have the potential of becoming + security problems. How security fits into SNMP frameworks is + described in [26], and a specific access control model is described + in [30]. + + The tables in this MIB are organized to separate sensitive control + capabilities from less sensitive usage information. For example, the + objects to control application suspend/resume are separated from + those to handle reconfiguration, which in turn are distinct from + those for termination. This recognizes the need to support + configurations where the level of authorization needed by a manager + to do a "reconfigure" might be substantially less than the level + needed to terminate an application element. By keeping these in + + + +Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 81] + +RFC 2564 Application Management MIB May 1999 + + + separate columns, we make it possible to set up access control that + allows, for example, "reconfigure" but not "kill". + + The MIB is structured to be useful for managers with read-only access + rights. In some environments, it may be approprate to restrict even + read-only access to these MIBs. + + The capabilities supported by this MIB include several that may be of + value to a security administrator. These include the ability to + monitor the level of usage of a given application, and to check the + integrity of application components. + +10.
