CiscoFanCheck

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

This behavior model monitors the fan status in a Cisco router. If a trap or a poll shows a problem, the alarm transitions to the FanWarning state which then polls the fan status again for verification. If the problem persists, NerveCenter sends a 6006 Inform to the platform. Once the problem has been corrected, the alarm returns to ground.

Two additional alarms, CiscoFanCheck_LogToDB and CiscoFanCheck_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 conditions can be produced.
