Measures reported by CtxSDXXenTempTest

A sudden and steep rise or fall in the temperature of critical hardware components such CPU, memory module, etc., can damage the said hardware and render the SDX appliance unusable. If this is to be avoided, then administrators should continuously monitor the state and the temperature of each hardware component of the SDX appliance. This is exactly what the CtxSDXXenTempTest test does!

For each hardware component of the SDX appliance, this test reports the state of that component in terms of its temperature and the current temperature of that component. In the process, the test promptly alerts administrators to an unusual spike/drop in the temperature of the target appliance, and thus enables them to quickly bring the temperature under control before it causes irreparable damage.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each hardware component on the target NetScaler SDX.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the current status of this hardware component, in terms of temperature.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values have been listed in the table below:

Numeric Value Measure Value
100 Ok
0 Error

The value Error for this measure indicates that the current temperature value is out of range.

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate the current status of a hardware component. However, in the graph of this measure, the Measure Values will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
Current_value Indicates the current temperature of this hardware component. Celsius An unusually high or low value for this measure is a cause for concern as it could indicate a potential hardware failure.
