Measures reported by PROCURSensorTest
The HP Procurve switch contains power supply, fan, and temperature sensors to monitor its power and temperature. Failure of any of these sensors can bring the switch operations to a halt. Administrators need to be able to promptly detect sensor failures and take corrective actions before any permanent damage is done.The Sensor Status test can help administrators in this regard.
This test monitors the status of each sensor, and also promptly captures and reports real/potential sensor failures.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each sensor on the target HP Procurve switch that is to be monitored.
Descriptor of the test : Sensor
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Sensor_status |
Indicates the current status of this sensor. |
|
The values that this measure can report and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Unknown |
1 |
| Good |
4 |
| Not present |
5 |
| Warning |
6 |
| Bad |
7 |
Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of each sensor. However in the graph of this measure sensor status will be represented with numeric equivalents only. |
| Warning_count |
Indicates the number of times that this sensor displayed a “Warning” state during the last measurement period. |
Number |
A low value is desired for this measure. |
| Failure_count |
Indicates the number of times this sensor failed during the last measurement period. |
Number |
The value of thsi measure should be zero. |
