Measures reported by CisSGPowerSupTest

The Cisco SG Switch supports dual power supply units that are fully hot swappable and ensuring high-availability requirements. The switch is fully functional with one power supply, but a second power supply can be included for power redundancy. Proper functioning of these power supply units is critical to the uninterrupted operations of the switch. Failure of the power supply units, if not attended promptly, can cause short to prolonged breaks in the availability of the switch. Therefore, administrators should be able to proactively detect potential problems with the power supply units and take remedial action before any unpleasant eventuality happens. This where the CisSGPowerSupTest test helps administrators!

This test reports the current status of the power supply unit available in the target Cisco SG Switch. Using this test, administrators can detect abnormalities, if any, in the power supply unit and hence, detect failures at the earliest.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Cisco SG Switch being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Powersupply_status Indicates the current status of the power supply unit.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Not Present 0
Normal 1
Warning 2
Shutdown 3
Not Functioning 4
Critical 5

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of the power supply unit. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of the power supply unit using the numeric equivalents only.
