Here is a runbook for the SNMP Trap description:

Meaning #

The SPAGENT-MIB::spWattStatus trap indicates that an energy sensor has exceeded a certain level, triggering an alert. This trap is sent by the sensor agent to notify the network management system of the threshold breach.

Impact #

The impact of this trap depends on the specific sensor and the level that was exceeded. Potential consequences include:

• Increased energy consumption, leading to higher costs and potential overheating issues
• Equipment malfunction or failure due to excessive energy usage
• Inefficient use of resources, leading to reduced system performance or downtime

Diagnosis #

To diagnose the issue, gather the following information from the trap variables:

• spSensorStatus: The current status of the sensor
• spSensorValue: The current value of the sensor
• spSensorLevelExceeded: The level that was exceeded, triggering the trap
• spSensorIndex: The index of the sensor causing the trap
• spSensorName: The name of the sensor causing the trap
• spSensorDescription: The description of the sensor causing the trap

Use this information to identify the specific sensor and the threshold that was breached. Review the sensor’s configuration and the surrounding environment to determine the root cause of the issue.

Mitigation #

To mitigate the issue, follow these steps:

1. Investigate the sensor and its surrounding environment to determine the cause of the threshold breach.
2. Take corrective action to reduce energy consumption, such as adjusting system settings, replacing components, or relocating equipment.
3. Verify that the sensor is configured correctly and accurately reporting energy usage.
4. Consider adjusting the threshold level for the sensor to prevent future breaches.
5. Monitor the sensor’s performance and energy usage to ensure the issue is resolved and does not recur.
