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.

Remember to update the monitoring system to reflect the resolution of the issue and to ensure that future traps are sent if the issue reoccurs. #
