- Minutes of the Mail and Directory Management BOF (MADMAN)
-
- Agenda
-
-
- o Minutes of the SAM BOF
- o Review of the Charter
- o Review of the Documents
-
- - Application monitoring MIB
- - MTA monitoring MIB
- - DSA monitoring MIB
-
-
- The Minutes of the SNMP Application Monitoring BOF (SAM), which met
- during the November 1992 IETF, were accepted without any comments. The
- Group then moved on to a review of the Charter for the MADMAN BOF. The
- following decisions were reached:
-
-
- o Monitoring of Message Store is added to the Charter. Message Store
- does include X.400(88) Message Store, POP, IMAP...
-
- o The management of the applications is not a working item for the
- Group. The MIB enables MTA and DSA managers to detect when things
- go wild by monitoring the most important system variables.
-
- o The application monitoring MIB is planned to be finalised for the
- Amsterdam IETF.
-
- o The DSA and MTA monitoring MIBs are planned for the Fall 1993 IETF.
-
- o Work on the Message Store MIB will start after the Fall 1993 IETF.
-
- o The IFIP Working Group on email management has a more general
- approach. Good relations are ensured by cross participation of
- Working Group members and the sharing of documents.
-
-
- The remainder of the session was spent in reviewing various documents.
-
-
- o Application Monitoring MIB
-
- - It is based on Steve's original proposal and should form a
- framework for all network applications.
- - A name string will be added.

-
-
-
-
- - A version indication per application is needed.
- - The concept on representation of processes in the host MIB will
- be checked.
- - There are already two other MIBs defined, a very short one from
- HP and one from CDC, concentrating on Mail and Directory.
-
-
- o DSA monitoring MIB
-
- - Additional variables: operations pending, active chained
- operations to other DSAs, current number of requests from
- clients in process, counters for replications, fail indication.
-
-
- o MTA Monitoring MIB
-
- - Support now for multiple MTAs on a single system is added.
- - A new abstraction has been added: channel. This is to get
- some figures out of very simple MTAs. A problem is deferred
- delivered messages and alarms set on `oldest message per
- channel'.
- - A counter for rejected messages is added.
- - A separate document is needed, also an RFC, to define object
- identifiers as a basis for identifying TCP services based on
- their port number.
- - Glenn volunteers to work on a layered model of the MTA
- monitoring approach. An association layer which receives and
- sends the messages and a higher level which routes and modifies
- (in case of gateway functions) the messages.
-
-
- o Message Store MIB
-
- - Monitor UAs connected to the message store, submission,
- retrieval, messages locked in the store.
- - The MIB should support capacity planning.
- - Ed Reed volunteered to work on a document to study the issues
- involved.
