How can I create a PRTG sensor to monitor a single SNMP MIB OID for temperature as my old program does? The Cisco System Health sensor doesn't show temperatures.
Our Cisco System Health sensor can also monitor the temperatures on the device if the device provides results for this metric. The OID that the sensor queries to get the values for the temperature is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.
We would recommend that you use our SNMP Tester and perform a Walk on this OID on the target device to check if valid results are being returned.
In case your device uses different OIDs for the temperature, you can use one of our custom sensors to query them:
- If you have the OID of the entire table, use the SNMP Custom Table sensor.
- If you want to monitor up to 10 specific OIDs, use the SNMP Custom Advanced sensor.
- If you want to monitor just one single OID, use the SNMP Custom sensor.
