Measures reported by CompWarningTest

SNMP traps carrying warning messages serve as early indicators of ‘probable’ failures/errors that can occur on the storage system. By intercepting and reading the warning traps sent by the storage system, this test proactively alerts administrators to potential issues in the performance of the storage system.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_messages Indicates the number of warning events that were captured during the last measurement period. Number The warning events may be generated due to the abnormal behavior of the fan/power supply etc, abnormal chassis temperature, an UPS drain, remote system warning, a directory which is almost full, configuration errors etc. Such events are an indication for an administrator to take remedial steps to rectify the issue as soon as possible.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is an indication of performance degradation of the storage system.

The detailed diagnosis capability, if enabled provides you with a more detailed information about the warning events that were captured by this measure.
