Measures reported by VrtxVoltProbeTest

Voltage probes in the VRTX help administrators determine the current voltage of a VRTX component. If any of these probes fail, administrators will not be able to detect sudden and severe voltage fluctuations. As a result, such fluctuations may occur frequently, causing serious damage to the VRTX hardware. It is hence imperative that administrators be notified instantly if a voltage probe behaves abnormally or registers a high voltage reading. This is where the VrtxVoltProbeTest Test helps.

For each voltage probe, this test reports how healthy that probe currently is, what its last voltage reading was, and whether that reading was good or bad. This sheds light on the abnormal health and voltage state of a probe.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Health_status Indicates how healthy this voltage probe currently is.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Other 1
Unknown 2
Normal 3
NonCritical Upper 4
Critical Upper 5
NonRecoverable Upper 6
NonCritical Lower 7
Critical Lower 8
NonRecoverable Lower 9
Failed 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed above to indicate the current health of a voltage probe. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only.

Voltage Indicates the current voltage reading of this probe. mV This measure reports values, only if the voltage probe is of a type other than ‘GenericDiscrete’.

A sudden and a significant rise in voltage may require closer scrutiny.

Voltage_state Indicates whether the voltage level recorded by this probe is good or bad.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Good 1
Bad 2

By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed above to indicate the current voltage status of a probe. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only.

This measure reports values, only if the voltage probe is of a type other than ‘GenericDiscrete’.
