Here is a runbook for the SNMP trap SPAGENT-MIB::spTemperatureArray7-3Status:

Meaning #

The SPAGENT-MIB::spTemperatureArray7-3Status trap indicates that a temperature sensor has detected an out-of-range value. This trap is sent when the sensor reading exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Impact #

This trap has a medium to high impact on system availability and reliability. If a temperature sensor is reporting an out-of-range value, it may indicate a potential overheating issue that could lead to system crashes, slow performance, or even hardware failure.

Diagnosis #

To diagnose this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the sensor that triggered the trap using the spSensorIndex variable.
  2. Check the spSensorName and spSensorDescription variables to understand the location and purpose of the sensor.
  3. Review the spSensorValue variable to determine the current temperature reading.
  4. Compare the spSensorValue to the spSensorLevelExceeded variable to understand the threshold that was exceeded.
  5. Verify that the sensor is functioning correctly and is not reporting a false alarm.

Mitigation #

To mitigate this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Investigate the root cause of the temperature excursion, such as a malfunctioning fan or a blocked air vent.
  2. Take immediate action to address the overheating issue, such as reducing system load or implementing cooling measures.
  3. Verify that the temperature sensor is functioning correctly and adjust the threshold value if necessary.
  4. Monitor the temperature sensor closely to ensure that the issue is resolved and does not recur.
  5. Consider implementing proactive measures to prevent future overheating issues, such as scheduled maintenance or environmental monitoring.
