OverallStatus OID?

Roberth Edberg — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:15:27 GMT

Hi all,
Im looking for the snmp-mib containing the "OverallStatus" oid for HP Insight Agents. What mib and where can I find it?

Info:
OverallStatus, INT, Indicates the overall status of the device: 0 = UNKNOWN 1 = NORMAL 2 = WARNING 3 = MINOR 4 = MAJOR 5 = CRITICAL 10= NO STATUS (occurs for new devices or on startup before polling)

Best Regards,

Roberth Edberg, SEB

Hi MIB file is "CPQHOST.mib" which states all above data.
you can find it in "hpsim\mibs" directory which default is "c:\program files\HP\Systems insight manager\mibs"

Thanks,
Ajay

Well, not really. The cpqhost.mib contains "cpqHoMibCondition", which only show status 1=unknown, 2=ok, 3=degraded, 4=failed.

This solves my case if it covers the complete system, but I would be even more interested in the "OverallStatus" which I read about in the SIM documentation as that one had more severities (mentioned in my first post).

The interesting part of the cpqhost.mib:

cpqHoMibCondition OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
unknown(1),
ok(2), -- default state
degraded(3),
failed(4)
}
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"The overall condition.

This object represents the overall status of the server's host
system represented by this MIB."
::= { cpqHoMibRev 3 }

Sorry, wrong by me. The interesting parts seems to be stored in the "cpqHoMibStatusArray". I just have to understand how to interpret it. Have you any idea?

The part I am interested in, as far as I understand, is the first 4 octets in "block0" of the Array. It stores the condition status aggregated of all other Mibs - If I understand it correct.

Below is an example of the complete Array. How do I dechiffer it?

1.2.8.0.1.2.1.10.1.2.1.17.1.2.1.1C.0.0.0.0.1.1.1.1D.1.2.1.13.0.0.0.0.1.1.1.16.0.0.0.0.1.2.1.4.1.1.1.15.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.1.1.6.0.0.0.0.1.2.1.13.1.1.1.1.1.2.1.9.1.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0

I have just posted some examples to the HP FTP site, including a Perl script to parse the first element of the cpqHoMibStatusArray. The files are at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/doc/p1559310849/v58447/index.html with ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/doc/p1559310849/v58447/status_xml.pl being the Perl script in question.
