Here is a runbook for the SNMP trap description:

Meaning #

The SPAGENT-MIB::spVirtual3Status trap indicates that a virtual sensor has exceeded a predetermined threshold, triggering an alert.

Impact #

The impact of this trap depends on the specific sensor and threshold exceeded. Possible impacts include:

  • System overheating or cooling issues if the sensor is related to temperature
  • Power supply issues if the sensor is related to voltage or current
  • Reduced system performance or availability if the sensor is related to system resources (e.g., CPU, memory, or disk usage)

Diagnosis #

To diagnose the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the sensor that triggered the trap by checking the spSensorName and spSensorDescription variables.
  2. Check the current value of the sensor by examining the spSensorValue variable.
  3. Determine the threshold that was exceeded by checking the spSensorLevelExceeded variable.
  4. Verify the status of the sensor by checking the spSensorStatus variable.
  5. Review system logs and monitoring data to identify any patterns or trends that may be related to the sensor reading.

Mitigation #

To mitigate the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Investigate and address the root cause of the sensor reading exceeding the threshold.
  2. Take corrective action to bring the sensor reading back within a safe range (e.g., adjust cooling systems, replace faulty components, or reduce system load).
  3. Validate that the sensor reading has returned to a safe range and the system is operating within normal parameters.
  4. Update monitoring configurations and thresholds as needed to prevent similar issues in the future.
  5. Document the incident and the steps taken to resolve it for future reference and knowledge sharing.
