What OIDs are used for the CISCO UCS System Health Sensor?

Votes:

0

I am attempting to set up some sensors for a Cisco UCS server to monitor its health and check for active faults. I have tried the built in SNMP Cisco UCS System Health sensor which does give accurate results. However we would like to be able to make sensors which could act as a standalone version of the Critical Faults Count channel using a Custom SNMP Sensor. This would involve finding the OIDs which feed the values from the System Health sensor but the problem is that I cannot find any OID which gives these values in any of the Cisco MIB documentation and the ones used by the sensor are not visible from what I can see. This makes me think that these values are actually some sort of sum of different states found from other OIDs. Thus my question is: 1. What are the OIDs that are used to retrieve data for the SNMP Cisco UCS System Health sensor. 2. Is the Critical Faults Count fed directly via an OID or is it the result of some processing post retrieval?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Dear caulanR,

please understand that we usually don't communicate how our more complex SNMP sensors work exactly. Making them was a lot of work, we don't want to give away the results of our engineering.

As for the standalone sensor, you could use the normal System Health sensor and hide the other channels both from tables and from graphs. This is a per-channel setting. Now those channels only appear in the sensor channel list on the sensor overview tab.
