1. Introduction
This memo defines a set of objects for managing World Wide Web (WWW)
services. This MIB extends the application management framework
defined by the System Application Management MIB (SYSAPPL-MIB) [23]
and the Application Management MIB (APPLICATION-MIB) [24]. The MIB is
also self-contained so that it can be implemented and used without
having to implement or install the APPLICATION-MIB or the SYSAPPL-
MIB.
The protocol statistics defined in the WWW Service MIB are based on
an abstract document transfer protocol (DTP). This memo also defines
a mapping of the abstract DTP to HTTP and FTP. Additional mappings
may be defined in the future in order to use this MIB with other
document transfer protocols. It is anticipated that such future
mappings will be defined in separate RFCs.
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 [17].
2. The SNMP Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [1].
o 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 [2], STD 16, RFC 1212 [3] and RFC 1215 [4]. The
second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58, RFC 2578
[5], RFC 2579 [6] and RFC 2580 [7].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [8]. A second version of the SNMP
message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [9] and
RFC 1906 [10]. The third version of the message protocol is
called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [10], RFC 2572 [11] and
RFC 2574 [12].
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
described in RFC 1157 [8]. A second set of protocol operations
and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [13].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [14] and
the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
[15].
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.
3. Terminology
This section defines the terminology used throughout this document.
o The 'World Wide Web' (WWW) is a world wide information system
which is based on the concept of documents that are linked
together by embedding references (links) to other local or
remote documents.
o A 'document' is a coherent piece of data which is accessible in
the World Wide Web. No assumptions are made about the content or
the type of a document.
o A 'Uniform Resource Locator' (URL) is a formatted string
representation for a document available via the Internet. URLs
are used to express references between documents. For the syntax
and semantics of the URL string representation refer to RFC 2396
[18]
o A 'Document Transfer Protocol' (DTP) is a protocol used within
the World Wide Web to invoke actions on documents. The DTP is an
abstraction from real protocols, such as HTTP [19,20] or FTP
[21].
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
o A 'request' is a DTP protocol operation which is targeted to a
'document' and invokes an action on the target document. The
request type specifies the action that should be performed. A
request can have a document associated with it.
o A 'response' is a DTP protocol operation which is returned as a
result of a previous (and associated) request. The response
status indicates if the requested action was successful or if
errors occurred. A response can have a document associated with
it.
o A 'WWW service' is a set of actions that can be invoked on a
document. Typical actions are the transfer of documents or the
retrieval of administrative information about documents. WWW
services are provided by means of a DTP. A WWW service can be
identified by the DTP protocol used to invoke services and the
transport endpoint used by that protocol.
o A 'client' is a program which establishes connections for the
purpose of sending requests and receiving responses.
o A 'server' is a program that accepts connections in order to
service requests by sending back responses.
o A 'proxy' is an intermediary program which acts as both a server
and a client for the purpose of making requests on behalf of
other clients. Requests are serviced internally or by passing
them on, with possible translation, to other servers.
o A 'caching proxy' is a proxy with the capability of locally
storing responses to associated requests. A caching proxy can
respond to similar requests with a previously stored response.
4. Overview
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a global network of information.
Information is stored in documents, which can have various formats,
including hyper-text and multi-media documents. Access to these
documents is provided by servers which are located all around the
world and are linked to each other via hyper-links embedded in
documents.
The usability of the World Wide Web depends largely on the
performance of the services realized by these servers. The services
are typically monitored through log files. This becomes a difficult
task when a single organization is responsible for a large number of
services. It is therefore desirable to treat WWW services as objects
that can be managed by using the Internet network management
framework [22].
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
4.1. Purpose and Requirements
The goal of this MIB is to define a standardized set of objects which
lead to integrated and improved performance and fault management in a
heterogeneous environment of WWW services. This MIB focuses on the
service-oriented view. It does not deal with the process oriented
view, which is covered by the System Application MIB [23] and the
Application MIB [24].
This document defines a set of managed objects to monitor WWW
services for short-term operational purposes, such as problem
detection and troubleshooting. No attempts are made here to cover
accounting or hit metering issues.
The scope of the MIB is further limited by the requirement that an
implementation conforming to this MIB must be possible without
putting a huge CPU or memory burden on the WWW server implementation.
In addition, this MIB does not cover WWW service configuration.
Server software has become an open market where competing vendors
constantly invent new features in order to shape their products. It
is therefore not possible to reach consensus on a common way to
configure WWW services at this point in time.
4.2. Relationship to other Standards Efforts
The WWW Service MIB fits into the application management architecture
defined in the System Application MIB [23]. The System Application
MIB and the Application MIB [24] use a process-oriented view, where
an application is viewed as a collection of processes. The WWW
Service MIB described in this memo uses a service-oriented view,
which looks at the services provided by a set of processes.
The relationship between the process-oriented view and the service-
oriented view is a many-to-many relationship, because one process can
implement multiple services and multiple services can be implemented
by a single set of processes. The Application Management MIB [24]
contains generic mapping tables, which map back and forth between
both views.
The WWW Service MIB interfaces to the Application MIB [24] by using
the service instance identifier (applSrvIndex) for wwwServiceIndex if
an applicable instance of applSrvIndex is available. The WWW Service
MIB is self-contained and can be implemented as a stand-alone module
if the service-level tables in the Application MIB are not available.
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
4.3. WWW Services
The MIB is organized around the concept of WWW services. WWW services
are a set of actions that can be invoked on a document. A WWW service
is provided or used by either a client, a server or a proxy. Clients
send out requests for information to server or proxy server. Servers
receive, process and respond to requests received from clients.
Servers usually have access to local documents, which can be
transferred to clients.
A proxy is a special server, who acts as both a server and a client
for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients. A
proxy is able to translate between the client and the origin server.
A proxy might also interact with other information retrieval system,
like for example databases.
The MIB defined in this memo distinguishes between outgoing and
incoming requests and responses. This makes it possible to obtain
statistics for clients, servers and proxies with a single set of
objects.
A special proxy server is the caching proxy, which maintains a cache
of previously received documents in order to reduce the bandwidth
used by World Wide Web clients. One interesting piece of management
information is the percentage of requests that were served from the
cache of the caching proxy (hits/miss-ratio). This ratio is not
contained explicitly in this MIB. Instead, the ratio can be derived
from the objects that count incoming and outgoing requests and
responses.
4.4. Document Transfer Protocol
The MIB is based on the concept of an abstract document transfer
protocol (DTP). The purpose of the abstract document transfer
protocol is to make the MIB definitions independent from concrete
protocols, like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [19,20] or the
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) [21].
The abstract document transfer protocol makes the following
assumptions about a concrete transfer protocol:
o The transfer protocol uses a request/response style of
interactions.
o Every request contains a request type, which defines the
operations performed by the receiving server. The request type
is represented by an OCTET STRING. It might be necessary to
define a translation into an OCTET STRING value for protocols
that use numbers to identify request types.
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
o A response contains a status code, which indicates if the
request was processed successfully or which error occurred. The
status code is represented as an INTEGER value. It might be
necessary to define a mapping for protocols that do not use an
INTEGER status code.
o A transfer protocol can send multiple responses for a single
request. Multiple responses are counted separately in the
protocol statistics group.
A primary response has to be identified for the document
statistics. The primary response is the response that indicates
whether the request was successful.
Section 7 of this memo defines a mapping of the document transfer
protocol to the HTTP protocol and the FTP protocol. Mappings to other
protocols, like NNTP [25] or WebNFS [26,27] might be defined in the
future.
5. Structure of the MIB
This section presents the structure of the MIB. The objects are
arranged into the following groups:
o service information
o protocol statistics
o document statistics
5.1. Service Information Group
The service information group consists of a single table describing
all the WWW services managed by the SNMP agent. The service table
contains administrative network management information for
(potentially) multiple WWW services running on a single host. It also
contains information for all services within virtual domains of a
host. The columnar objects in the table can be divided into two main
groups:
o global administrative information of the service, such as
service contact person, and
o network information, such as the transfer protocol.
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
5.2. Protocol Statistics Group
The protocol statistics group provides network management information
about the traffic received or transmitted by a WWW service. This
group contains counters related to DTP protocol operations and
consists of five tables:
o The wwwSummaryTable contains a set of network traffic related
counters. The table provides a summarization of the network
traffic and protocol operations related to a WWW service. It is
well recognized that certain variables are redundant with
respect to the request and response tables, but they are added
to provide an operator a quick overview and to reduce SNMP
network traffic.
o The wwwRequestInTable contains detailed information about
incoming requests. Every particular request type is counted
separately.
o The wwwRequestOutTable contains detailed information about
outgoing requests. Every particular request type is counted
separately.
o The wwwResponseInTable contains detailed information about
incoming responses. Every particular response type is counted
separately.
o The wwwResponseOutTable contains detailed information about
outgoing responses. Every particular response type is counted
separately.
5.3. Document Statistics Group
The document group contains information about the documents which
were accessed in the past. The group provides four types of
statistics.
1. Details about the last N attempts to invoke actions on
documents.
2. The Top N documents sorted by the number of actions invoked on
them computed over a time interval.
3. The Top N documents sorted by the number of content bytes
transferred computed over a time interval.
4. Summary statistics computed over a time interval.
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
The Top N document statistics are collected in buckets in order to
reduce agent resources and to allow a manager to detect changes in
the service usage pattern. Buckets are filled over a configurable
time interval. The agent computes the Top N statistics and starts a
new bucket once the time interval for the bucket has passed. The time
interval is configurable for each WWW service.
The document statistics group associates a response type to the
request which invoked an action. In case a DTP sends multiple
responses, the primary response must be used to derive the response
type of the request/response interaction.
The group consist of the following tables:
o The wwwDocCtrlTable provides the manager a means to limit the
document statistic tables in size and to control the expiration
and creation of buckets.
o The wwwDocLastNTable provides the manager information about the
last N documents which where accessed. The table lists the
documents for which access was attempted along with the request
and response type of the DTP and a status message. The request
and response types provide a manager information of how attempts
to invoke actions were handled by the DTP. The status message
object provides human readable text to further describe the
response type.
The number of documents in the wwwDocLastNTable is controlled by
the wwwDocCtrlLastNSize object in the wwwDocCtrlTable. The
wwwDocCtrlLastNLock object of the wwwDocCtrlTable allows a
management application to lock the wwwDocLastNTable in order to
retrieve a consistent snapshot of the fast changing
wwwDocLastNTable.
o The wwwDocBucketTable lists the buckets of statistical
information that have been collected. An entry in the
wwwDocBucketTable contains the creation timestamp of the bucket
as well as summary information (number of accesses, number of
documents accessed and number of bytes transferred).
The time interval is controlled by the
wwwDocCtrlBucketTimeInterval object of the wwwDocCtrlTable. The
maximum number of buckets maintained by the SNMP agent for a
particular WWW service is controlled by the wwwDocCtrlBuckets
object of the wwwDocCtrlTable.
o The wwwDocAccessTopNTable provides the manager an overview of
the top N documents which were accessed while statistics were
collected for a particular bucket. The wwwDocAccessTopNTable is
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
sorted by the number of read attempts per document. The maximum
number of entries in the wwwDocAccessTopNTable is controlled by
the wwwDocCtrlTopNSize object.
o The wwwDocBytesTopNTable provides the manager an overview of the
top N documents which caused most of the network traffic while
statistics were collected for a particular bucket. The
wwwDocBytesTopNTable is sorted by the number of bytes
transferred. The maximum number of entries in the
wwwDocBytesTopNTable is controlled by the wwwDocCtrlTopNSize
object.
The Top N statistics and the parameters of the underlying bucket are
not visible in the MIB as long as the bucket is filling up. Instead,
the following steps must be taken when the time interval for a
buckets has passed:
1. A new entry in the wwwDocBucketTable is created to summarize the
document statistics for that time interval.
2. The corresponding entries in the wwwDocAccessTopNTable and the
wwwDocBytesTopNTable are computed and made available.
3. If the resulting number of entries in the wwwDocBucketTable for
the WWW service now exceeds wwwDocCtrlBuckets, then the oldest
bucket for this WWW service and all corresponding entries in the
wwwDocBucketTable, wwwDocAccessTopNTable, and
wwwDocBytesTopNTable are deleted.
Note that a bucket usually contains much more data than displayed in
the Top N tables. The number of entries in the Top N table for a
bucket is controlled by wwwDocCtrlTopNSize, while the number of
entries in a bucket depends on the number of actions invoked on
documents within the time interval over which a bucket is filled up.
It is therefore suggested to discard the data associated with a
bucket once the entries for the wwwDocBucketTable,
wwwDocAccessTopNTable and wwwDocBytesTopNTable have been calculated.

the real wwwDocLastNTable table so that recent information is
available as soon as the wwwDocLastNTable is unlocked again.
Setting this object to a value greater than 0 will lock
the table. The timer ticks backwards until it reaches 0.
The table unlocks automatically once the timer reaches 0
and the timer stops ticking.
A manager can increase the timer to request more time to
read the table. However, any attempt to decrease the timer
will fail with an inconsistentValue error. This rule ensures
that multiple managers can simultaneously lock and retrieve
the wwwDocLastNTable. Note that managers must cooperate in
using wwwDocCtrlLastNLock. In particular, a manager MUST not
keep the wwwDocLastNTable locked when it is not necessary to
finish a retrieval operation."

7. Document Transfer Protocol Mappings
This section describes how existing protocols such as HTTP [19,20]
and FTP [21] can be mapped on the abstract Document Transfer Protocol
(DTP) used within the definitions of the WWW MIB. Every mapping must
define the identifier which is used to uniquely identify the transfer
protocol. In addition, the mappings must define how requests and
responses are identified.
7.1. The HyperText Transfer Protocol
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) [19,20] is an application-
level protocol used to transfer hypermedia documents in a distributed
networked environment. HTTP is based on the request/response paradigm
and can be mapped on the abstract DTP easily.
The HTTP protocol usually runs over TCP and uses the well-known TCP
port 80. Therefore, the default value for the wwwServiceProtocol
object is { applTCPProtoID 80 }.
HTTP allows for both requests and responses and an open-ended set of
message types. The general message syntax of HTTP is therefore used
for the protocol mapping. The BNF specification of the general HTTP
message syntax as defined in [20] is as follows:
generic-message = start-line
*message-header
CRLF
[ message-body ]
start-line = Request-Line | Status-Line
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 36]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
Request-Line = Method SP Request-URI SP HTTP-Version CRLF
Status-Line = HTTP-Version SP Status-Code SP Reason-Phrase CRLF
Every HTTP-message where the start-line is a Request-Line is
considered a request in the abstract DTP. Every HTTP-message where
the start-line is a Status-Line is considered a response in the
abstract DTP. The mappings of WwwRequestType and WwwResponseType are
defined as follows:
o The WwwRequestType corresponds to the method token in the
Request-Line.
o The WwwResponseType corresponds to the Status-Code in the
Status-Line.
7.2. The File Transfer Protocol
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) [21] is an application-level
protocol used to transfer files between hosts connected by the TCP/IP
suite of protocols. FTP is based on a request/response paradigm and
is mapped on the abstract DTP as defined in this section. The FTP
model as defined in [21] is depicted below.
-------------
|+---------+|
|| User || --------
||Interface|<--->| User |
|+----|----+| --------
---------- | | |
|+------+| control connection |+----|----+|
||Server|<------------------->|| Client ||
|| PI || Commands/Replies || PI ||
|+--|---+| |+----|----+|
| | | | | |
-------- |+--|---+| Data |+----|----+| --------
| File |<--->|Server|<------------------->|| Client |<--->| File |
|System| || DTP || Connection || DTP || |System|
-------- |+------+| |+---------+| --------
---------- -------------
FTP uses two different connection types between a client and a server
to transfer files. The control connection is persistent during a FTP
session and used to exchange FTP commands and associated replies. The
data connection is only available when bulk data has to be
transferred.
The FTP protocol usually runs over TCP and uses the well-known TCP
port 21 to setup the control connection. Therefore, the default value
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 37]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
for the wwwServiceProtocol object is { applTCPProtoID 21 }.
Every FTP command is considered a request in the abstract DTP. Every
FTP reply is considered a response in the abstract DTP. It should be
noted that a single FTP command can result in multiple FTP replies
(e.g. preliminary positive replies). The primary response for a FTP
request contains a status code of the form 2xy, 3xy, 4xy or 5xy. See
section 4.2 in [21] for the exact meaning of these status codes. The
mappings for WwwRequestType and WwwResponseType are defined as
follows:
o The WwwRequestType corresponds to the FTP command token.
o The WwwResponseType corresponds to the three-digit code which
starts a reply. Multi-line replies with the same three-digit
code are counted as a single DTP response.
8. Security Considerations
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB module
that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write. Such objects may be
considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The
support for write operations in a non-secure environment without
proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
There are a number of managed objects in this MIB that may contain
sensitive information:
o The document statistics group contains traffic information
including the names of documents that were a target of protocol
operations. This information is sensitive as it allows to obtain
access statistics for documents.
o The protocol statistics are less sensitive, because they do not
contain details about the target of individual requests and
responses. However, traffic statistics and error counters still
provide usage information about WWW services and about the
overall quality of WWW services. It is suggested that sites
configure MIB views so that a user of this MIB can only access
the portion of the statistics that belong to the WWW services
managed by that user.
o The service and the summary statistics groups provide
information about the existence of WWW services and condensed
usage statistics. Some sites may want to protect this
information as well, especially if they offer private WWW
services that should not be known by the outside world.
Hazewinkel, et al. Standards Track [Page 38]
RFC 2594 WWW Service MIB May 1999
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network
itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), there is no control as
to who on the secure network is allowed to access
(read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.
It is recommended that implementers consider the security features as
provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use of the
User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [12] and the View-based Access
Control Model RFC 2575 [15] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP
entity giving access to an instance of this MIB is properly
configured to give access to the objects only to those principals
(users) that have legitimate rights to indeed read or write
(change/create/delete) them.
9. Intellectual Property
The IETF takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any
intellectual property or other rights that might be claimed to
