Meaning #

The sensorProbe sensor status has gone Critical, indicating a severe issue with the sensor that requires immediate attention.

Impact #

  • The critical status of the sensor may indicate a hardware failure or a severe environmental condition that can impact the overall system reliability and availability.
  • Depending on the sensor type and location, this critical status may affect the safety and integrity of the system, people, or the environment.

Diagnosis #

  • Check the sensor name and description (spSensorName and spSensorDescription) to determine the type and location of the affected sensor.
  • Verify the current sensor value (spSensorValue) and the level that was exceeded (spSensorLevelExceeded) to understand the severity of the issue.
  • Check the sensor index (spSensorIndex) to identify the specific sensor that triggered the trap.
  • Review the sensor status (spSensorStatus) to confirm that it is indeed in a Critical state.
  • Check the system logs and monitoring tools for any additional error messages or alerts related to the sensor or system.

Mitigation #

  • Immediately investigate the cause of the critical sensor status and take corrective action to address the underlying issue.
  • If the sensor is reporting an environmental condition, take necessary steps to maintain a safe and healthy environment.
  • If the sensor is reporting a hardware failure, replace or repair the faulty component as soon as possible.
  • Verify that the sensor is properly configured and calibrated to ensure accurate readings.
  • Once the issue is resolved, clear the sensor status and verify that it returns to a normal state.
  • Update the incident management system with the root cause and resolution of the issue to improve future incident response.
