Check for Cisco Module Alarms (Service Check)

Service Check Category: System Checks

Passive: No

Description: This service check monitors modules status on Cisco devices by querying the operating status of the various modules. Non-OK states in a module will cause the check to go CRITICAL. Only modules that respond with an operating status code will be checked. (Which modules respond can vary greatly depending on platform, module type and licensing on the host device). Modules that are “administratively” down will also not be checked.

Additionally, power and fan status will be checked if they are installed and respond with a status code.

This check is SNMP-based using OIDs from CiscoEntityFRUControlMIB (.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.117).

The following statuses are checked:

• Power Status
  Checks the operational status of the FRU power module.
• Power Admin
  Checks the administratively desired FRU power state. Logic is used here to determine if the FRU power module should be off or not.
• Fan Status
  Checks the operational state of the fan or fan tray.
• Module Status
  Checks the module's operational state. Module and status are included in Netreo alert notifications.
