WfFanCheck

Path: /model/vendors/wellfleet/wf_fan_check.mod

Monitors the fan status in a Wellfleet router. If a poll shows a problem, the alarm transitions to the FanWarning state which then polls the fan status again for verification. If there is a problem, NerveCenter sends a 6506 Inform to the platform. Once the problem has been corrected, the alarm returns to ground.

Two additional alarms, WfFanCheck_LogToDB and WfFanCheck_LogToFile, are part of this model. When you enable these alarms, they perform a Log To Database or a Log to File alarm action, respectively, on each transition so that reports on fan status can be produced.

Note    The LogToDB alarm, works on Windows NT only.

Tip    It's a good practice to rename the behavior model objects that you modify. Whenever you import a model, NerveCenter will overwrite objects with the same name.
