bldgHVACCoolOrHeatMins

Module: BLDG-HVAC-MIB

OID (symbolic): BLDG-HVAC-MIB::bldgHVACCoolOrHeatMins

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.122.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of heating or cooling minutes that have been consumed since the row was activated. Notice that whether the minutes represent heating or cooling is a function of the configuration of this row. If the system is re-initialized from a cooling to heating function or vice versa, then the counter would start over again. This effect is similar to a reconfiguration of some network interface cards. When parameters that impact configuration are changed, the subsystem must be re-initialized. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of bldgHVACDiscontinuityTime.

What is bldgHVACCoolOrHeatMins?

Reports the cumulative number of minutes the HVAC system has spent actively heating or cooling a room since the configuration row was activated. Whether the minutes represent heating or cooling depends on how the row is configured, and the counter resets if the system switches between the two modes.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Building HVAC control units/BM as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type bldgHVACCoolOrHeatMins into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of heating or cooling minutes that have been consumed since the row was activated. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline (in minutes), since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
