Abstract

  This memo defines a standards track portion of the Management
  Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
  the Internet Community.  In particular, it defines objects used for
  the management of applications.  This MIB complements the System
  Application MIB, providing for the management of applications' common
  attributes which could not typically be observed without the
  cooperation of the software being managed.

1.  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].

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.

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.

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

6.  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.  Intellectual Property

  The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
  intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
  pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in

9.  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

  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.
