Measures reported by BSGTempSensorTest

The Blue Coat ProxySG appliance is provided with built-in temperature sensors for each of the hardware modules such as CPU, power supply unit, motherboard and memory module. Whenever a temperature sensor detects an abnormal temperature, then the hardware module corresponding to that temperature sensor is shutdown. If the hardware modules are shutdown frequently, then the performance of the appliance may degrade gradually. To avoid this, it is essential to monitor the operational state and the temperature of each module at regular intervals. The BSGTempSensorTest test helps administrators in this regard.

This test auto-discovers the temperature sensors of the appliance and reports the current status of each temperature sensor and the current temperature of each module detected by its corresponding temperature sensor.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each temperature sensor available in each module of the target Blue Coat ProxySG appliance that is being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Sensor_status Indicates the current state of this temperature sensor.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
Unavailable 2
Non operational 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of the temperature sensor. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of a sensor using the numeric equivalents only - 1 to 3.

Temperature Indicates the current temperature detected by this temperature sensor. Celsius Ideally, the value of this measure should be within the admissible temperature range.
