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

  1. Support for generic application throughput measurements;
  1. Providing MIB definitions that allow managed entities to

report what they considered to be units of work;

  1. 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].)
  1. Provide explicit support for the management of applications

distributed within a single managed system ("local"

          distribution);
  1. Address generic resource management issues, including:
  1. files in use;
  1. I/O statistics (from the application's perspective,

not at the operating system or device driver level);

  1. application-layer networking resource usage
  1. Facilities for the control of applications, including:
  1. Stopping application elements
  1. Suspending and resuming application elements;
  1. 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:
  1. the systems applications MIB [31]
  1. the host resources MIB [10]
  1. 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:
  1. the service-level view of applications
  1. information on open channels (files, connections,

transaction streams) in use by applications

  1. historical information on former channels
  1. 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:
  1. the tables providing a service-level view, including:
  1. the service name to service instance table
  1. the service instance to service name table
  1. the service instance to running application element

table

  1. the running application element to service instance

table

  1. the tables providing information on I/O channels, including:
  1. the table of open channels
  1. the table of open files
  1. the open connections table
  1. the transaction statistics tables
  1. historical information on I/O channels
  1. the running application element status and control group
  1. the running application element status table
  1. 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:
  1. is there an identifiable set of resources associated with

providing this service?

  1. 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:
  1. time at which the channel was opened
  1. number of read requests
  1. number of bytes read
  1. time at which most recent read operation was initiated
  1. number of write requests
  1. number of bytes written
  1. 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:
  1. file name
  1. file size
  1. 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:
  1. identification of the transport protocol in use
  1. near-end address and port
  1. far-end address and port
  1. 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:
  1. identification of the underlying connection or file used for

this transaction stream

  1. a human-readable description of this stream
  1. a human-readable description of this stream's notion of what

a unit of work is

  1. the cumulative amount of time spent (as an operation

invoker) waiting for responses (from queueing of request to

          arrival of first response)
  1. 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)
  1. the cumulative amount of time spent (as an operation

performer) handling requests (time from receipt of request

          to queueing of first outgoing response)
  1. 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

  1. the cumulative number of transactions initiated (as an

invoker)

  1. 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:
  1. the number of transactions processed
  1. the number of bytes processed
  1. 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.
  1. number of transactions processed
  1. number of bytes processed
  1. 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:
  1. current heap usage for this running application element
  1. current number of open network connections for this running

application element

  1. 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

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

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

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.
