Measures reported by VrtxAmpProbeTest
Amperage probes built into the VRTX help administrators determine the current amperage running through a circuit. If any of these probes fail, administrators will not be able to detect any sudden surge in the input power of a circuit. If this surge persists, it may cause serious damage to the VRTX hardware. It is hence imperative that administrators be notified instantly if an amperage probe behaves abnormally or registers a high input power reading. This is where the VrtxAmpProbeTest Test helps.
For each amperage probe, this test reports how healthy that probe currently is, how much input power it registered last, and what its present power state is. This sheds light on the abnormal health and power state of a probe.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Health_status |
Indicates how healthy this probe currently is. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Other |
1 |
| Unknown |
2 |
| Normal |
3 |
| NonCritical Upper |
4 |
| Critical Upper |
5 |
| NonRecoverable Upper |
6 |
| NonCritical Lower |
7 |
| Critical Lower |
8 |
| NonRecoverable Lower |
9 |
| Failed |
10 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed above to indicate the current health of an amperage probe. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents only. |
| Power_usage |
Indicates the current input power recorded by this probe. |
Watts |
A sudden and significant rise in the value of this measure could be a cause of concern. This measure reports values, only if the temperature probe is of a type other than ‘GenericDiscrete’. |
| Power_status |
Indicates the current power state of this amperage probe. |
