ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB
ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB adds support for physical sensors
of networking equipment beyond what ENTITY-MIB defines. Use this MIB in tandem with the ENTITY-MIB to monitor
the operational status of the physical components of a system (for
example, fans and temperature sensors). For example, to troubleshoot
issues that might result from environmental conditions, you can map
the entity indexes from the ENTITY-MIB (entPhysicalDescr object)
to operational status values (entPhysSensorOperStatus object) in
the ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB. In the following example, all the fans and temperature
sensors for a PA-3020 firewall are working:
The same OID might refer to different sensors on different
platforms. Use the ENTITY-MIB for the targeted platform to match
the value to the description.
Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Panorama, and WF-500 appliances
support only portions of the entPhySensorTable group. The supported
portions vary by platform and include only thermal (temperature
in Celsius) and fan (in RPM) sensors.
RFC 3433 defines the ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB.
