Basic Information

Service Check Name: SNMP System Uptime Check

Service Check Category: System Checks

Passive: No

Description

This check uses the standard SNMP sysUptime OID parameter to determine whether the device has rebooted within a specified time.

It is useful for detecting devices that crash and reboot quickly before a PING service check can detect the network outage. 

Check-specific Configuration Fields

The following configuration fields are specific to this type of service check. See Service Check for configuration parameters common to all service checks.

• TIME TO GO CRITICAL - (Required) Specify the interval (in seconds) within which a device restart is considered critical. For example, the 300-second interval indicates that an uptime of 5 minutes or less will cause the check to become critical.
