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:

Hazewinkel, et al.
Standards Track
[Page 2]
RFC 2594
WWW Service MIB
May 1999


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.

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].

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.

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:

Hazewinkel, et al.
Standards Track
[Page 6]
RFC 2594
WWW Service MIB
May 1999


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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

                                              -------------
                                              |+---------+|

                ----------                    -------------

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:

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:

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
