CiscoTempCheck

Path: /model/vendors/cisco/cisco_temp_check.mod

This behavior model monitors the temperature status in a Cisco router. If a trap or a poll shows a problem, the alarm transitions to the TempWarning state which then polls the temperature status again for verification. If there is a problem, NerveCenter sends a 6008 Inform to the platform. Once the problem has been corrected, the alarm returns to ground.

Two additional alarms, CiscoTempCheck_LogToDB and CiscoTempCheck_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 temperature status can be produced.

Note    The LogToDB alarm, works on Windows NT only.

Events Sent to OpenView

The table below summarizes the events this behavior model sends to OpenView:

For complete information about events sent to OpenView, see the trapd.conf.txt file shipped with these behavior models residing in:

Optional Customization

Below is a list of behavior model settings that you might want to customize to suit the requirements of your site.

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.

• Poll intervals
• Change Inform to Inform Platform for Netcool, TME, Unicenter
• Log To File alarm action options
  (file pathname, log action variables, verbose or non-verbose output)
• Log To Database alarm action options
  (log identity number and log action variables)
