Typically, if a valid value is specified for an OID in the
OID-value
pair configured, then the
test considers the configured OID for monitoring only when the actual value of the OID
matches with its configured value. For instance, in the example above, if the value of OID
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2
is found to be
HOST
and not
Host_
system, then the test ignores OID
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2
while monitoring. In some cases however, an OID might not be
associated with a separate value – instead, the OID itself might represent a value. While
configuring such OIDs for monitoring, your
OIDVALUE
specification should be:
DisplayName:OID-any
. For instance, to ensure that the test monitors the OID
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.5
, which in itself, say represents a failure condition, then your
specification would be:
Trap5: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.5-any
.
5.
SHOWOID
– Specifying
true
against
SHOWOID
will ensure that the detailed diagnosis of
this test shows the OID strings along with their corresponding values. If you enter
false
,
then the values alone will appear in the detailed diagnosis page, and not the OIDs.
6.
TRAPOIDS
– By default, this parameter is set to
all
, indicating that the eG agent considers
all the traps received from the specified
SOURCEADDRESS
es. To make sure that the
agent considers only specific traps received from the sourceaddress, then provide a comma-
separated list of OIDs in the
TRAPOIDS
text box. A series of OID patterns can also be
specified here, so that the test considers only those OIDs that match the specified
pattern(s). For instance,
*94.2*,*.1.3.6.1.4.25
*
, where
*
indicates leading and/or trailing
spaces.
7.
DD FREQUENCY
- Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to
be generated for this test. The default is
1:1
. This indicates that, by default, detailed
measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a
problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the
detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying
none
against dd
frequency.
Outputs of the
test
One set of results for each type of event that occurred on the target Juniper EX Switch
Measurements
made by the
test
Measurement
Measurement
Unit
Interpretation
Failed power supplies:
Indicates the number of times
this event was triggered due
to power supply failure during
the last measurement period.
Number
The failure events may be generated due to
the failure of the Power supply units 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.
