Here is a runbook for the SNMP Trap SPAGENT-MIB::spTemperatureArray5-7Status:

Meaning #

The SPAGENT-MIB::spTemperatureArray5-7Status SNMP trap is generated when a temperature sensor in the system reports a value that exceeds a predetermined threshold. This trap is triggered by a specific temperature sensor, identified by the spSensorIndex, and the current temperature value is reported in spSensorValue.

Impact #

This trap indicates that a temperature sensor has exceeded a critical level, which could potentially lead to system instability, overheating, or even hardware failure. If left unaddressed, this could result in:

• System crashes or shutdowns
• Data loss or corruption
• Hardware damage or failure
• Downtime and reduced productivity

Diagnosis #

To diagnose the issue, follow these steps:

1. Identify the sensor that triggered the trap using spSensorIndex and spSensorName.
2. Check the current temperature value reported in spSensorValue.
3. Verify the threshold level that was exceeded, reported in spSensorLevelExceeded.
4. Check system logs for any errors or warnings related to temperature issues.
5. Physically inspect the sensor and surrounding components for signs of damage or malfunction.

Mitigation #

To mitigate the issue, follow these steps:

1. Take immediate action to reduce the temperature, such as:
   • Turning off non-essential systems or components
   • Increasing cooling fan speeds
   • Ensuring proper airflow around the system
2. Investigate and address the root cause of the temperature issue, such as:
   • Faulty or malfunctioning sensors
   • Blocked or clogged air vents
   • Inadequate cooling systems
3. Implement measures to prevent future temperature exceedances, such as:
   • Adjusting temperature thresholds
   • Implementing temperature monitoring and alerting systems
   • Scheduling regular system maintenance and cleaning
4. Consider replacing or repairing the affected sensor or component to ensure system reliability and stability.
