Definitions #

spSensorStatus

The current integer status of the sensor causing this trap to be sent

spSensorValue

The current integer value of the sensor causing this trap to be sent

spSensorLevelExceeded

The integer level that was exceeded causing this trap to be sent

spSensorName

The name of the sensor causing this trap to be sent

spSensorDescription

The description of the sensor causing this trap to be sent

Meaning #

The SPAGENT-MIB::spIRMS7Status SNMP trap indicates that an IRMS (Intelligent Remote Management System) sensor has reached a critical level, triggering an alert. This trap is sent when a sensor reading exceeds a predetermined threshold, indicating a potential issue that requires attention.

Impact #

The impact of this trap depends on the specific sensor and threshold that have been exceeded. Possible impacts include:

• Equipment failure or malfunction
• Environmental issues (e.g., temperature, humidity, etc.)
• Power or cooling system failure
• Security breaches
• Disruption of critical services or applications

Diagnosis #

To diagnose the issue, follow these steps:

1. Identify the sensor that triggered the trap by checking the spSensorIndex and spSensorName variables.
2. Review the spSensorValue to determine the current reading of the sensor.
3. Check the spSensorLevelExceeded variable to determine the threshold that was exceeded.
4. Consult the spSensorDescription to understand the purpose and context of the sensor.
5. Verify the status of the sensor by checking the spSensorStatus variable.

Mitigation #

To mitigate the issue, follow these steps:

1. Investigate the cause of the sensor reading exceeding the threshold.
2. Take corrective action to address the underlying issue (e.g., repair or replace equipment, adjust environmental settings, etc.).
3. Verify that the sensor reading has returned to a safe level.
4. Check the sensor status to ensure it is functioning correctly.
5. Consider adjusting the threshold level or sensor settings to prevent future false positives or to improve sensitivity.
6. Document the incident and the actions taken to resolve it.
