Here is a runbook for the SNMP trap:

Meaning #

This trap indicates that a temperature sensor has exceeded a certain threshold, triggering an alert to be sent to the monitoring system. The sensor is part of an array of temperature sensors, identified by the index spSensorIndex.

Impact #

• The excessive temperature reading may indicate a hardware failure or overheating issue that could lead to system downtime or data loss.
• If left unaddressed, the temperature excursion could cause permanent damage to the equipment.
• The impact may vary depending on the specific system and sensor location, but it is essential to investigate and take corrective action to prevent potential damage or loss.

Diagnosis #

• Check the spSensorValue variable to determine the current temperature reading that triggered the trap.
• Verify the spSensorLevelExceeded variable to determine the threshold value that was exceeded.
• Review the spSensorName and spSensorDescription variables to identify the specific sensor and its location.
• Check the system logs for any error messages or indicators of hardware failure.
• If possible, visually inspect the system and sensor to check for any signs of overheating or damage.

Mitigation #

• Immediately investigate the cause of the temperature excursion and take corrective action to bring the temperature back within a safe range.
• Check for any blockages or obstructions that may be preventing proper airflow and cooling.
• Verify that the system’s cooling system is functioning correctly and adjust as necessary.
• Consider replacing the temperature sensor or the system component it is monitoring if it is deemed faulty.
• Implement additional monitoring and alerting measures to ensure that similar issues are detected and addressed promptly in the future.
