eG Help

Abnormal power fluctuation to the hardware components would often lead to the malfunctioning of the HP Enterprise Security Key manager (ESKM) which when left unnoticed can prove to be fatal! This test intercepts the traps sent by the security server, extracts information related to power supply failures from the traps, and reports the count of power failure occurrences to the eG manager. This information enables administrators to detect the abnormalities in the power supply if any, understand the nature of these failures, and accordingly decide on the remedial measures.

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Power_failure	Indicates the number of times the power failure event was triggered during the last measurement period.	Number	The failure events may be generated due to the failure of the power supply units of the security server. If the failure events are not rectified within a certain pre-defined timeperiod, the security server will be shutdown automatically. Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is an indication of performance degradation of the security server.
