Measures reported by JexTemperatureTest

Temperature fluctuation of hardware components, if not promptly detected and resolved, can prove to be fatal to the availability and overall health of a Juniper EX Switch. This test intercepts the temperature traps sent by the hardware components of the switch, extracts information related to temperature errors/failures from the traps, and reports the count of these trap messages to the eG manager. This information enables administrators to detect current temperature and potential failure of the hardware components due to a sudden shoot up of temperature, understand the nature of these failures, and accordingly decide on the remedial measures.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Over_temperature Indicates the number of times this event was triggered during the last measurement period. Number The failure events may be generated due to the temperature failure of the hardware components of the Juniper EX Switch. If the failure events are not rectified within a certain pre-defined timeperiod, the switch will be shutdown automatically.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is an indication of performance degradation of the Juniper EX Switch.
