<b>Betreff:</b> [Nagios-users] Monitoring temperatures on Cisco equipment<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm looking to monitor temperature on some various Cisco equipment (2821, 3750, 4948, 6509, etc). I've looked at the
<a href="http://check_catalyst_temp.pl">check_catalyst_temp.pl</a> and check_env_stats.py plugins, which both look in .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1. I see and understand the basic mechanisms of these checks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I don't understand is why both require warning and critical thresholds. From what I can tell, both walk ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr, check <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState</span></span> (and
alert accordingly) AND also check <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue to see if it's out of the warning and critical thresholds specified on the command line. I understand
why one would want to be able to set custom thresholds (that would override "normal" and "warning" states). What I don't understand is why are they required? Is there a reason, or is it just an oversight? I don't have much experience monitoring network
equipment, so I'm wondering if there's a reason for it.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">On that same note, does anyone know where those thresholds are stored? I see in the same OID that there is ciscoEnvMonTemperatureThreshold,
but that's an absolute upper bound before a forced shutdown occurs. I'm assuming that the thresholds for "warning" and "critical" ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState must be stored somewhere else. Does anyone know where that is?</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Unless there's a good reason for requiring -w and -c, I'll probably change one of the plugins to not require them.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
