Description: Monitors device temperature sensors providing current readings, thresholds, and thermal alarm status on Cisco hardware.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is CISCO-TEMPERATURE-MIB?
CISCO-TEMPERATURE-MIB is a Cisco environmental-monitoring MIB dedicated to collecting temperature telemetry from sensors embedded in Cisco hardware. It exposes a simple table of per-sensor readings, hysteresis values, and operational status, categorizing it as environmental/hardware health data rather than configuration or traffic statistics. This MIB is squarely a hardware-status monitoring tool: it reports current temperature values against thresholds and hysteresis bands so operators can detect overheating, failing cooling systems, or sensors trending toward a thermal shutdown condition before the chassis takes protective action. It is a standalone Cisco-proprietary module with no significant dependency on other MIBs beyond standard SNMP conformance conventions. It is deployed across Cisco routers, switches, and chassis-based platforms wherever thermal telemetry is exposed via SNMP for environmental alerting. Administrators searching for cisco temperature or a cisco temperature threshold reference use this MIB's sensor objects to set alerting thresholds before a device overheats.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-TEMPERATURE-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Cisco routers
- Cisco switches
- Cisco chassis-based network hardware
Monitoring Examples
An admin polls ciscoTempTable/ciscoTempEntry, reading ciscoTempValue for each ciscoTempIndex alongside ciscoTempHyst (the hysteresis/threshold value) to watch for a sensor's reading climbing toward or exceeding its threshold. The ciscoTempOs (operational status) object flags whether a given sensor is reporting normal, warning, or critical/over-temperature conditions. A sustained rise in ciscoTempValue combined with ciscoTempOs shifting away from normal typically indicates fan failure, blocked airflow, or an overloaded chassis needing immediate attention.
What Can Be Monitored
- per-sensor temperature readings
- temperature threshold/hysteresis values
- sensor operational status (normal/warning/critical)
- thermal trend toward overheating
