management station on the left hand side of the illustration
instructs the remote device to create reports through manipulation of
the ReportCntrl Objects in the REPORT-SAMPLED-MIB resident on the
remote device. The reports instruct the device to monitor the status
of specified counters (on other MIBs and potentially on other devices
in close network proximity) periodically. The reports are stored
locally until the management station decides to pull them off the
device. The figure shows a case where the REPORT-SAMPLED-MIB
generates a notification that Report_2 has completed, prompting the
management station to pull Report_2 from the device.

5.1. Textual Conventions o reportSampledMibNotifications - defines the notifications
associated with the reportSampledMIB module. These objects define
notifications which track the behavior of the reportSampledMib
module. A single notification is defined in the reportSampledMIB
module which reports a series of failed measurement attempts in

notification is a control object which defines a threshold of
failures which would initiate the notification. These
notifications do not cover the triggered notifications which carry

These triggered notifications are defined through the use of the
dismanEventMIB module.

the 'reportSampledNewDataReport'. This notification is sent by the
agent upon completion of a given report on the device. The
notification contains the following objects:
'usrHistoryControlOwner', the entity that configured this report
entry, and the 'reportSampledReportIndex', the index of the data

management application to pull the completed report from the agent.

structures in the earlier RMON MIBs through the use of the 'AUGMENTS'
clause within the 'reportSampledControlTable' and the
'reportSampledTable' in this MIB module.
6.3. MIB modules required for IMPORTS 6.3. Relationship to the DISMAN-EVENT-MIB
The reportSampledMIB module was developed to fundamentally work with
the dismanEventMIB module RFC 2981 [RFC2981] in order to offer a
complete and efficient off-line reporting capability for bandwidth
challenged networks such as Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). This is
accomplished through defining trigger test and associated
notification actions indexed by mteOwner, mteTriggerName,
mteObjectsName and mteEventName within the dismanEventMIB module.
Specifically (within the dismanEventMIB module):
In the mteTriggerTable and specifically by setting
o 'mteTriggerTest == boolean(1)',
o 'mteTriggerSampleType == absoluteValue(1)',
o 'mteTriggerValueID ==
reportSampledNumberOfMeasurementsForCurrentReport',
o 'mteTriggerValueIDWildcard == false(1)',
o 'mteTriggerFrequency == 0.5*reportSampledStudySamplingInterval',
and
o 'mteTriggerEnabled == true'.
In the mteTriggerBooleanTable and specifically by setting
o 'mteTriggerBooleanComparison == equal(2)',
o 'mteTriggerBooleanValue == value of
reportSampledStudyNumberReportMeasurements', and
o 'mteTriggerBooleanStartup == false'.
In the mteObjectsTable and specifically by setting
o 'mteObjectsID == reportSampledCurrentMeasurementValue' and
reportSampledCurrentMeasurementTime' and
reportSampledCurrentMeasurementStatus' with
o 'mteObjectsIDWildcard == true' // for each.
In the mteEventTable and specifically by setting
o 'mteEventActions == notification(0)' and
o 'mteEventEnabled == true' // for each.
In the mteEventNotificationTable and specifically by setting
o 'mteEventNotification == mteTriggerFired' and the appropriate
names for the
o 'mteEventNotificationObjectOwner == mteOwner' and
o 'mteEventNotificationObjects == mteObjectsName'.
These settings within the dismanEventMIB module will result in
notifications generated by the dismanEventMIB module which will carry
the recently completed reportSampledMIB module reports.
Set up properly, the dismanEventMIB module will trigger a
notification each time the reportSampledCurrentTable contains a
completed Report. This Report will be sent in a notification
containing three columns of the reportSampledCurrentTable, i.e., the
Value, the Time and the Status, due to the use of wildcarding within
the dismanEventMIB module.
Simultaneously, the reportSampledMIB module will move the completed
Current Report into the reportSampledHistoricalReportsTable and
restart collection for the next Report within the
reportSampledCurrentReportsTable.
6.4. Relationship to the DISMAN-EXPRESSION-MIB
In conjunction with the dismanExpressionMIB module RFC 2982
[RFC2982], the reportSampledMIB module can be used to develop reports
on relatively sophisticated object expressions.
6.5. MIB modules required for IMPORTS
Citations are not permitted within a MIB module, but any module Citations are not permitted within a MIB module, but any module
mentioned in an IMPORTS clause or document mentioned in a REFERENCE mentioned in an IMPORTS clause or document mentioned in a REFERENCE

Appendix A. Change Log Appendix A. Change Log
Changes from draft-ietf-manet-report-mib-03 to
draft-ietf-manet-report-mib-04 draft.
1. This version 04 of the reportSampledMIB module represents a
fairly significant restructuring of the MIB module. This
restructuring was necessary in order to align the remote
distributed reporting capabilities of this MIB module with the
prior DISMAN Working Group (WG) efforts at the IETF.
2. The reportSampledCurrentReportsStatusTable was added to allow a
network manager to automate notifications of completed reports
from this MIB module using the dismanEventMIB module.
3. The notifications in this reportSampledMIB module were reduced to
only notifications related to the operation of the data
collections and no longer addressing the reporting of the
performance data itself. This later data is now carried in
notifications under the control of the dismanEventMIB module.
