Abstract

   The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used in networks of all types and
   sizes for time synchronization of servers, workstations and other
   networked equipment.  As time synchronization is more and more a
   mission critical service, standardized means for monitoring and
   management of this subsystem of a networked host are required to
   allow operators of such a service to setup a monitoring system that

   is platform- and vendor-independant.  This RFC draft provides a
   standardized collection of data objects for monitoring the NTP
   service of such a network participant and it is part of the NTP
   Version 4 standardization effort.

Internet-Draft  Definitions of Managed Objects for NTPv4       July 2007


1.  The Internet-Standard Management Framework

   For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
   Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
   RFC3410 [4].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  MIB objects are generally
   accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
   Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
   Structure of Management Information (SMI).  This memo specifies a MIB
   module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in RFC2578
   [1], RFC2579 [2] and RFC2580 [3].


2.  Introduction

   The NTPv4 MIB Module is designed to allow SNMP to be used to monitor
   and manage local NTP service instances.  It provides a collection of
   data objects that can be queried using the SNMP protocol and
   represent the current status of the NTP service instance.  This
   includes general information about the NTP service instance itself
   (vendor, product, version) as well as connectivity to upstream NTP
   servers used as sources of reference time and to hardware reference
   clocks like radio clocks.  The most important values are included in
   order to be able to detect failures before they can have an impact on
   the overall time synchronization status of the network.  There are
   also a collection of notification objects to inform about state
   changes in the NTP service.  There are objects to control these
   notifications as well.


3.  Technical Description

   The NTPv4 MIB Module is divided into sections for general server
   information, current NTP service status, status information of all
   mobilized associations (e.g. unicast upstream time servers, multicast
   or broadcast time references and hardware clocks), NTP service
   control objects, NTP objects used only for notifications, as well as
   SNMP notification definitions for core events.

   The general server information section contains static information
   and can be queried to identify which NTP service implementation is
   running on a host.  This includes the vendor and product name of the
   running NTP software as well as version information, hardware/os
   platform identity and the time resolution of the underlying OS.

   Section 2 (current NTP status) includes data objects that represent

Internet-Draft  Definitions of Managed Objects for NTPv4       July 2007


   the current operational status of the NTP service instance.

   The third section contains data objects that represent the set of
   time references ("associations") the NTP instance is currently
   working with.

   The fourth section contains objects that can be used to control the
   NTP service.  The currently defined objects control how often the
   heartbeat interval notification is sent out and which notifications
   are enabled.

   The fifth section contains objects that are only used as varbinds in
   notifications.  There is currently only one object in this section--a
   message that adds a clear text event message to notifications.

   Certain important events can occur while the NTP instance is running.
   The sixth section defines SNMP notifications for a collection of the
   most important ones ("core events") and additionally provides a
   heartbeat notification as well as a test notification to allow
   management systems to test the reception of NTP related notifications
   as well as enable heartbeat-based monitoring systems to assure that
   the NTP service is still up and running.

          It includes a 64-bit signed seconds field
          spanning 584 billion years and a 64-bit fraction
          field resolving .05 attosecond (i.e. 0.5e-18).
          For convenience in mapping between formats, the
          seconds field is divided into a 32-bit era field
          and a 32-bit timestamp field.

         If time is not syncronized this field shall be a
         zero-length string.

         This object can be used to timestamp events on this
         node and allow a management station to coorelate
         different time objects. For example, a management
         station could query this object and sysUpTime in
         the same operation to be able to relate sysUpTime
         to NTP time.

         This object is not to be used to set the time of
         the node querying this object. NTP should be used
         for this--or at least SNTP."

5.  IANA Considerations

   The MIB module in this document uses the following IANA-assigned
   OBJECT IDENTIFIER values recorded in the SMI Numbers registry:

            Descriptor        OBJECT IDENTIFIER value
            ----------        -----------------------

            ntpSnmp           { mib-2 XXX }

   RFC Ed. : the IANA is requested to assign a value for "XXX" under the
   'mib-2' subtree and to record the assignment in the SMI Numbers
   registry.  When the assignment has been made, the RFC Editor is asked
   to replace "XXX" (here and in the MIB module) with the assigned value
   and to remove this note.


6.  Security Considerations

   All data objects in this MIB are read-only and therefore security is
   managed by the implementation of the SNMP agent providing the data
   objects in this MIB.  The general access management methods used for
   SNMP agents apply.
