Here is a runbook for the SNMP trap SPAGENT-MIB::spTemperatureArray5-6Status:
Meaning #
The SPAGENT-MIB::spTemperatureArray5-6Status trap indicates that a temperature sensor has exceeded a threshold value. This trap is sent by the agent when the sensor value has crossed a predefined level, triggering an alert.
Impact #
The impact of this trap can be significant, as it may indicate a potential overheating issue in the device or system being monitored. If left unaddressed, this can lead to equipment failure, data loss, or even physical damage to the surrounding environment.
Diagnosis #
To diagnose the issue, gather the following information from the trap:
spSensorStatus: The current status of the sensor (e.g., normal, warning, critical).spSensorValue: The current value of the temperature sensor.spSensorLevelExceeded: The threshold value that was exceeded, triggering the trap.spSensorIndex: The index of the sensor that triggered the trap.spSensorName: The name of the sensor (e.g., CPU temperature, ambient temperature).spSensorDescription: A brief description of the sensor.
Using this information, check the device or system for signs of overheating, such as:
- Elevated temperatures
- Increased fan speed or noise
- Sluggish performance
- Error messages or alarms from other sensors or systems
Mitigation #
To mitigate the issue, take the following steps:
- Verify the temperature reading to ensure it is accurate and not a false alarm.
- Check the device or system for blockages or obstructions that may be impeding airflow.
- Ensure that cooling systems (e.g., fans, air conditioning) are functioning correctly.
- Consider relocating the device or system to a cooler environment.
- If the issue persists, consider replacing the temperature sensor or the device/system itself.
