Monitoring notification processing using the metrics services

Attention: The metrics services are only available on DNS/DHCP Server v25.1.

By default, the metrics service is enabled and collects information related to notification processing. You can navigate to the Notification metrics tab within the Dashboards page to view additional information about notification processing.

If you are using the metrics exporter service, you can monitor the following notification metrics using your observability platform:
bc_notification_pna_files
The number of notification files that are queued on Address Manager
bc_notification_pna_files_size_btyes
The total size of notification files on the Address Manager disk
bc_notification_per_second
The total size of notification files on the Address Manager disk
bc_notification_total
The total number of notification files received by Address Manager based on each service type and the status of how the notification was processed. The value has a label service for each service type and status for each status type. The service can be one of the following:
  • DHCPv4
  • DHCPv6
  • DNS
The status can be one of the following:
  • discarded
  • failed
  • received
  • succeeded

Monitoring notification processing using SNMP

You can also monitor the notifications backlog on individual BDDS appliances via SNMP. Currently, a single OID is exposed to show the sum of the PNA file sizes. The modified MIB file is: ADONIS-DNS-MIB.txt.

Each BlueCat-specific BDDS MIB (management information base) OID (object identifier) begins with the following prefix of network management object identifiers:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.13315

That represent iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.bluecatnetworks.

SNMP Object OID Access Description
.fileSystemFootprint .100.101.1.4.2.1.1 Read-only The size of the PNA backlog files as it resides on the file system (in kilobytes).
Attention: The SNMP service must be configured to use SNMP version v2c or v3 to receive information from this OID.
