Hi,
I cant find a sensor that will allow me to monitor the core temperatures of Dell switches. Is there perhaps one available?
Thanks and regards
Monitoring Dell Switch temperature possible?

Hello,
thank you for your KB-Post.
There are no built-in sensors for this I'm afraid. As apparently different switch families from dell have completely distinct/different MIB's and OID's, this makes creating a standard sensor unlikely. Please note that while there's no built-in sensor this does not mean that you can't monitor your switch's temperature with PRTG. Please check the following:
I was also able to locate this information on Dell's techcenter, the actual OID's will vary according to the switch model that you own:
You can confirm the availability of these OID's performing partial walks with our SNMP tester and deploy custom SNMP Sensors afterwards.
