RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
1. Abstract
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 a basic set of managed objects for fault,
configuration and performance management of applications from a
systems perspective. More specifically, the managed objects are
restricted to information that can be determined from the system
itself and which does not require special instrumentation within the
applications to make the information available.
This memo does not specify a standard for the Internet community.
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of the following
major components:
o RFC 1902 Structure of Management Information for Version
2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [2]
o RFC 1903 Textual Conventions for Version 2 of the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [3]
o RFC 1904 Conformance Statements for Version 2 of the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [4]
o RFC 1905 Protocol Operations for Version 2 of the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [5]
o RFC 1906 Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [6]
o RFC 1907 Management Information Base for Version 2 of the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) [7]
o RFC 1908 Coexistence between Version 1 and Version 2 of
the Internet-standard Network Management Framework [8]
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
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) [1],
defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI) (See RFC
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
1902 [2]). 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 object descriptor, to refer to the
object type.
3. Overview
The primary purpose of computing technologies is the execution of
application software. These applications, typically specialized
collections of executables, files, and interprocess communications,
exist to solve business, scientific or other "problems". The
configuration, fault detection, performance monitoring and control of
application software across its life on a host computer is of great
economic importance. For the purposes of our work, we define
applications as one or more units of executable code and other
resources, installed on a single host system that a manager may think
of as a single object for management purposes.
The information described by the objects in the System Application
MIB support configuration, fault, and performance management; they
represent some of the basic attributes of application software from a
systems (non-application specific) perspective. The information
allows for the description of applications as collections of
executables and files installed and executing on a host computer.
This memo is concerned primarily with, and defines a model for,
application information resident on a host computer which can be
determined from the system itself, and not from the individual
applications. This system-level view of applications is designed to
provide information about software applications installed and running
on the host system without requiring modifications and code additions
to the applications themselves. This approach was taken to insure
ease and speed of implementation, while allowing room for future
growth.
4. Architecture for Application Management
In the area of application management it is fully acknowledged and
even expected that additional MIB modules will be defined over time
to provide an even greater level of detail regarding applications.
This MIB module presents the most general case: a set of management
objects for providing generic information about applications and
whose object values can be determined from the computer system itself
without requiring instrumentation within the application.
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
A finer-grained level of detail is planned for the future "appl MIB"
which will be a common set of management objects relating to generic
applications, but which require some type of instrumentation in the
application in order to be determined. Since the applmib MIB module
will provide a finer level of detail, any connection to the sysAppl
MIB should be made by having references from the more detailed appl
MIB back to the more generic sysAppl MIB. Likewise, as application-
specific MIB modules such as the WWW MIB, etc., are developed over
time, these more specific MIBs should reference back to the more
generic MIBs.
While this MIB module does not attempt to provide every detailed
piece of information for managing applications, it does provide a
basic systems-level view of the applications and their components on
a single host system.
5. The Structure of the MIB
The System Application MIB structure models application packages as a
whole, and also models the individual elements (files and
executables) which collectively form an application. The MIB is
structured to model information regarding installed application
packages and the elements which make up each application package. The
MIB also models activity information on applications (and in turn,
their components) that are running or have previously run on the host
system. In modeling applications and their elements, this MIB module
provides the necessary link for associating executing processes with
the applications of which they are a part.
The objects are arranged into the following groups:
- System Application Installed Group
- sysApplInstallPkgTable
- sysApplInstallElmtTable
- System Application Run Group
- sysApplRunTable
- sysApplPastRunTable
- sysApplElmtRunTable
- sysApplElmtPastRunTable
- (scalars for restricting table sizes)
- System Application Map Group
- sysApplMapTable
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
As can be seen by the arrangement above, for each category, the MIB
first treats an application package as a whole, and then breaks down
the package to provide information about each of the elements
(executable and non-executable files) of the package.
5.1. System Application Installed Group
The System Application Installed group consists of two tables.
Through these two tables, administrators will be able to determine
which applications have been installed on a system and what their
constituent components are. The first table, the
sysApplInstallPkgTable, lists the application packages installed on a
particular host. The second, the sysApplInstallElmtTable, provides
information regarding the executables and non-executable files, or
elements, which collectively compose an application.
NOTE: This MIB is intended to work with applications that have been
installed on a particular host, where "installed" means that the
existence of the application and the association between an
application and its component files can be discovered without
requiring additional instrumentation of the application itself. This
may require that certain conventions be used, such as using a central
software installation mechanism or registry, when installing
application packages. For example, many UNIX systems utilize a
"pkgadd" utility to track installed application packages, while many
PC systems utilize a global registry.
5.2. System Application Run Group
This group models activity information for applications that have
been invoked and are either currently running, or have previously
run, on the host system. Likewise, the individual elements of an
invoked application are also modeled to show currently running
processes, and processes that have run in the past. This information
is modeled using two pairs of tables: a pair of tables for currently
running applications and past run applications, and a pair of tables
for the currently running elements and the past run elements. Seven
scalars are also defined to control the size of the past run tables.
5.2.1. sysApplRunTable and sysApplPastRunTable
The sysApplRunTable and the sysApplPastRunTable make up the first
pair of tables. The sysApplRunTable contains the application
instances which are currently running on the host. Each time an
application is invoked, a new entry is created in the sysApplRunTable
to provide information about that particular invocation of the
application. An entry will remain in this table until the
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
application instance terminates, at which time the entry will be
deleted from the sysApplRunTable and placed in the
sysApplPastRunTable.
The sysApplPastRunTable maintains a history of instances of
applications which have previously executed on the host. Entries to
this table are made when an invoked application from the
sysApplRunTable terminates; the table entry which represents the
application instance is removed from the SysApplRunTable and a
corresponding entry is added to the sysApplPastRunTable.
Because the sysApplPastRunTable will continuously grow as
applications are executed and terminate, two scalars are defined to
control the aging-out of table entries. The value of
sysApplPastRunMaxRows specifies the maximum number of entries the
table may contain, while the sysApplPastRunTblTimeLimit specifies the
maximum age of the table entries. Oldest entries are removed first.
It is important to note that the sysApplRunTable and
sysApplPastRunTable contain entries for each INVOCATION of an
application. A single application package might be invoked multiple
times; each invocation is properly recorded by a separate entry in
the sysApplRunTable.
In order to implement this group, the agent must be able to recognize
that an application has been invoked, and be able to determine when
that invocation terminates. This poses a complex problem since a
single application invocation may involve numerous processes, some of
which may be required to remain running throughout the duration of
the application, others which might come and go. The
sysApplInstallElmtRole columnar object in the sysApplInstallElmtTable
is meant to assist in this task by indicating which element is the
application's primary executable, which elements must be running in
order for the application to be running, which elements are dependent
on required elements, etc. See the description of
sysApplInstallElmtRole for more details.
5.2.2. sysApplElmtRunTable and sysApplElmtPastRunTable
While the sysApplRunTable and sysApplPastRunTable focus on
applications as a whole, the sysApplElmtRunTable and
sysApplElmtPastRunTable provide information regarding an
application's executable elements, (processes), which are either
currently executing or have executed in the past.
The sysApplElmtRunTable contains an entry for every process currently
running on the host. An entry is created in this table for each
process at the time it is started, and will remain in the table until
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
the process terminates. Note that in order to provide complete
information on the load on the system, this table lists EVERY running
process, not just those processes that are running as part of an
identified application. However, when processes terminate, only
information from entries corresponding to elements of an identified
application are moved to the sysApplElmtPastRunTable.
The sysApplElmtPastRunTable maintains a history of processes which
have previously executed on the host as part of an application. When
a process from the sysApplElmtRunTable terminates, the entry's
information is moved to this sysApplElmtPastRunTable provided that
the process was part of an identified application. If the process
cannot be associated with any 'parent' application, then it is simply
removed from the sysApplElmtRunTable. This allows for processes like
'ps' or 'grep' to show up in the sysApplElmtRunTable, (where they are
consuming resources and are thus "interesting"), but not in the
sysApplElmtPastRunTable.
Because the sysApplElmtPastRunTable will continuously grow as
processes are executed and terminate, two scalars are defined to
control the aging-out of table entries. The value of
sysApplElmtPastRunMaxRows specifies the maximum number of entries the
table may contain, while the sysApplElmtPastRunTblTimeLimit specifies
the maximum age of the table entries. Oldest entries are removed
first.
5.3. System Application Map Group
The System Application Map group contains a single table, the
sysApplMapTable, whose sole purpose is to provide a backwards mapping
for determining the invoked application, installed element, and
installed application package given a known process identification
number.

7. Implementation Issues
This section discusses implementation issues that are important for
both an agent developer, and a management application developer or
user to understand with regards to this MIB module. Although this
section does not attempt to prescribe a particular implementation
strategy, it does attempt to recognize some of the real world
limitations that could effect an implementation of this MIB module.
7.1. Implementation with Polling Agents
Implementations of the System Application MIB on popular operating
systems might require some considerable processing power to obtain
status information from the managed resources. It might also be
difficult to determine when an application or a process starts or
finishes. Implementors of this MIB might therefore choose an
implementation approach where the agent polls the managed resources
at regular intervals. The information retrieved by every poll is used
to update a cached version of this MIB maintained inside of the
agent. SNMP request are processed based on the information found in
this MIB cache.
A scalar sysApplAgentPollInterval is defined to give the manager
control over the polling frequency. There is a trade- off between the
amount of resources consumed during every poll to update the MIB
cache, and the accuracy of the information provided by the System
Application MIB agent. A default value of 60 seconds is defined to
keep the processing overhead low, while providing usable information
for long-lived processes. A manager is expected to adjust this value
if more accurate information about short-lived applications or
processes is needed, or if the amount of resources consumed by the
agent is too high.
7.2. sysApplElmtPastRunTable Entry Collisions
The sysApplElmtPastRunTable maintains a history of processes which
have previously executed on the host as part of an application.
Information is moved from the sysApplElmtRunTable to this PastRun
table when the process represented by the entry terminates.
The sysApplElmtPastRunTable is indexed by the tuple,
(sysApplElmtPastRunInvocID, sysApplElmtPastRunIndex), where the first
part identifies the application invocation of which the process was a
part, and the second part identifies the process itself.
Recall that the sysApplElmtRunIndex represents the system's unique
identification number assigned to a running process and that this
value is mapped to sysApplElmtPastRunIndex when the process
Krupczak & Saperia Standards Track [Page 40]
RFC 2287 MIB for Applications February 1998
terminates and the entry's information is moved from the
sysApplElmtRunTable to the sysApplElmtPastRunTable. Many systems
re-use process ID numbers which are no longer assigned to running
processes; typically, the process numbers wrap and the next available
process number is used.
It is therefore possible for two entries in the sysApplElmtPastRun
Table to have the same value for sysApplElmtPastRunIndex. For this
reason, entries in the ElmtPastRun table are indexed by the tuple
sysApplElmtPastRunInvocID, sysApplElmtPastRunIndex to reduce the
chance of a collision by two past run elements with the same
sysApplElmtPastRunIndex.
However, it is still possible, though unlikely, for a collision to
occur if the following happens:
1) the invoked application (identified by InvocID), has an
element which runs, terminates, and is moved into the
sysApplElmtPastRun table (index: InvocID, RunIndex)
2) the numbers used for the system's process identification
numbering wrap
3) that same invoked application (same InvocID), has another
element process run, AND that process is assigned the same
identification number as one of the processes previously run by
that invoked application (same RunIndex), and finally,
4) that element process terminates and is moved to the
sysApplElmtPastRun table prior to the old, duplicate (InvocID,
RunIndex) entry being aged out of the table by settings defined
for sysApplElmtPastRunMaxRows and
sysApplElmtPastRunTblTimeLimit.
In the event that a collision occurs, the new entry will replace the
old entry.
8. Security Considerations
In order to implement this MIB, an agent must make certain management
information available about various logical and physical entities
within a managed system which may be considered sensitive in some
network environments.
Therefore, a network administrator may wish to employ instance-level
access control, and configure the access mechanism (i.e., community
strings in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2C), such that certain instances within
this MIB are excluded from particular MIB views.
