Measures reported by RADLBTSTest

A temperature sensor typically, keeps an eye on the temperature of the load balancer. If the temperature suddenly soars beyond permissible limits, the sensor senses the anomaly and shuts down the load balancer to protect its core components from permanent damage. If the device so shuts down, administrators may not know that its owing to a temperature surge! This is why, administrators need to run the Temperature Sensor Status test periodically.

This test monitors the temperature sensor and alerts administrators as soon as the sensor detects that the temperature threshold has been violated. This way, when a shut down happens, administrators will know that it is owing to an unexpected rise in the temperature. They can then initiate measures to diagnose the reason for the violation and eliminate it so that the temperature remains within manageable limits at all times!

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Radware Alteon load balancer being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
tempSensorStatus Indicates the current temperature status as reported by the temperature sensor.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Not relevant 0
OK 1
Exceed 2

Note:

By default, this test reports one of the Measure Values listed in the table above indicate the status of the sensor. In the graph of the measure however, the same is indicated using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.
