New/Edit Temperature Monitor

Use this dialog to configure the Temperature Monitor name and description.

The Temperature Monitor checks select Cisco switches/routers, Dell servers, HP ProCurve switches/routers, and Ravica temperature probes to see that they return a value that signals they are in an up state. The monitor first checks to see if a device is a Cisco, Dell, HP, or Ravica device, then checks any enabled temperature monitor devices. If a temperature probe is disabled, the monitor ignores it; if a temperature probe does not return a value of 1 - Normal (for Cisco switches/routers), 3 - OK (for Dell server devices), 4 - Good (for HP ProCurve switches and routers), 2 - OK (for HP ProLiant servers), or 2 - normal (for Ravica temperature probes) the monitor is considered down.

This monitor is pre-configured and exists in the Active Monitor Library upon installation of WhatsUp Gold. Unlike many pre-configured active monitors, the Temperature Monitor's default configuration cannot be modified. However, you can modify the monitor name and description, as well as the SNMP timeout and number of retries used while attempting to connect to devices.

Name. Enter a title for the monitor as it appears in the Active Monitor Library.
Description. Enter a short description as it appears in the Active Monitor Library.

Tip: Click Advanced to set the SNMP timeout and number of retries.
