Measures reported by DellNSUnitUpTest
This test auto-discovers the stack units of the target Dell Switch N Series and reports the current status of each stack unit. This test also reports the uptime of each stack unit and the number of times each stack unit was rebooted.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every stack unit in the Dell Switch N Series monitored.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| unitStatus |

Note:
By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current status of the stack unit. The graph of this measure however, is represented using the above-mentioned numeric equivalents only. |
| reboot |
Indicates whether this stack unit has been rebooted during the last measurement period or not. |
|
If the value of this measure is Yes, it means that the stack unit was rebooted during the last measurement period. By checking the time periods when this metric changes from No to Yes, an administrator can determine the times when this stack unit was rebooted. The Detailed Diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, lists the TIME, SHUTDOWN DATE, RESTART DATE, SHUTDOWN DURATION, and IS MAINTENANCE. |
| uptime |
Indicates the time period that this stack unit has been up since the last time this test ran. |
Secs |
If the stack unit has not been rebooted during the last measurement period and the agent has been running continuously, this value will be equal to the measurement period. If the stack unit was rebooted during the last measurement period, this value will be less than the measurement period of the test. For example, if the measurement period is 300 secs, and if the stack unit was rebooted 120 secs back, this metric will report a value of 120 seconds. The accuracy of this metric is dependent on the measurement period – the smaller the measurement period, greater the accuracy. |
| total_uptime |
Indicates the total time that this stack unit has been up since its last reboot. |
|
This measure displays the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last reboot. Administrators may wish to be alerted if the stack unit has been running without a reboot for a very long period. Setting a threshold for this metric allows administrators to determine such conditions. |
