Description: Eaton Environmental Monitoring Probe MIB for monitoring temperature, humidity, and contact inputs on Eaton power equipment.

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 EATON-EMP-MIB?

This is an Eaton vendor MIB, extracted from the broader Eaton PowerMIB, dedicated to the Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) accessory used with Eaton UPS and power distribution equipment to monitor ambient conditions around the equipment. It exposes environmental sensor data — remote temperature and humidity readings — along with a set of configurable dry-contact inputs and their type/state/description. It is squarely a hardware/environmental monitoring MIB, letting administrators track temperature and humidity in the equipment room or rack alongside upper/lower alarm thresholds, and monitor auxiliary contact sensors (such as door or water-leak sensors) for facility-level fault conditions rather than the UPS's own internal status. It is explicitly derived from and depends on the Eaton PowerMIB (the object identifiers were extracted from it into this separate module), so it is deployed alongside that core UPS MIB. It is typically deployed in data center or telecom equipment rooms where an Eaton EMP probe is attached to a UPS to provide environmental and contact-sensor monitoring alongside power protection. Engineers can download the EATON-EMP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EATON-EMP-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll xupsEnvRemoteTemp and xupsEnvRemoteHumidity and compare them against xupsEnvRemoteTempLowerLimit/xupsEnvRemoteTempUpperLimit and the corresponding humidity limits to detect an overheating or over-humid equipment room; walking xupsContactSenseTable/xupsContactsTableEntry and reading xupsContactState for each xupsContactIndex (described via xupsContactDescr) would reveal whether an auxiliary sensor, such as a door or water sensor wired to xupsEnvNumContacts contacts, has tripped.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using xupsEnvRemoteTemp OID:

Select an Eaton UPS/power equipment with Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) 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 xupsEnvRemoteTemp into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The reading of an EMP's temperature sensor. 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 an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the reported value exceeds the level expected for healthy operation, since sustained high temperature often precedes thermal shutdown or hardware degradation. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
eatonEMPConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.0.2
eatonEMPGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.0.2.1			The EMP scalar objects.
eatonEMPMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.0			The MIB module for Eaton Environment Monitoring Probes (EMP). The elements of this MIB have been extracted from the Eaton PowerMIB and placed in this separate MIB file for convenience. Copyright (C) Eaton Corporation (2007).
eatonEMPSimpleCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.0.2.4			The compliance statement for a normal EMP.
eatonEMPTableGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.0.2.2			The EMP Contacts Table objects.
STR xupsContactDescr	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.8.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	A label identifying the Contact. This object should be set by the administrator.
I32 xupsContactIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.8.1.1	Integer32	read-only	The Contact identifier; identical to the Contact Number. This object is not-accessible to MIB browsers, but had to be changed to read-only to satisfy SMIv2 syntax checkers if it is included in traps.
xupsContactSenseTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.8		not-accessible	A list of Contact Sensing table entries. The number of entries is given by the value of xupsEnvNumContacts.
xupsContactsTableEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.8.1		not-accessible	An entry containing information applicable to a particular Contact input.
INT xupsContactState	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.8.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The current state of the Contact input; the value is based on the open/closed input state and the setting for xupsContactType. When entering the openWithNotice(3) and closedWithNotice(4) states, no entries added to the xupsAlarmTable, but the xupstdContactActiveNotice trap is sent.
INT xupsContactType	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.8.1.2	INTEGER	read-write	The normal state for this contact. The 'other' (not 'Normally') state is the Active state for generating the xupstdContactActiveNotice trap. If anyChange(3) is selected, then this trap is sent any time the contact changes to either Open or Closed. No traps are sent if the Contact is set to notUsed(4). In many cases, the configuration for Contacts may be done by other means, so this object may be read-only.
I32 xupsEnvNumContacts	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.7	Integer32	read-only	The number of Contacts in the xupsContactSenseTable. This object indicates the number of rows in the xupsContactSenseTable.
I32 xupsEnvRemoteHumidity	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.6	Integer32	read-only	The reading of an EMP's humidity sensor.
I32 xupsEnvRemoteHumidityLowerLimit	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.11	Integer32	read-write	The Lower Limit of the EMP humidity reading; if xupsEnvRemoteHumidity falls below this value, the xupsRemoteHumidityBad alarm will occur.
I32 xupsEnvRemoteHumidityUpperLimit	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.12	Integer32	read-write	The Upper Limit of the EMP humidity reading; if xupsEnvRemoteHumidity rises above this value, the xupsRemoteHumidityBad alarm will occur. This value should be greater than xupsEnvRemoteHumidityLowerLimit.
I32 xupsEnvRemoteTempEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.5	Integer32	read-only	The reading of an EMP's temperature sensor.
I32 xupsEnvRemoteTempLowerLimit	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.9	Integer32	read-write	The Lower Limit of the EMP temperature; if xupsEnvRemoteTemp falls below this value, the xupsRemoteTempBad alarm will occur.
I32 xupsEnvRemoteTempUpperLimit	1.3.6.1.4.1.534.1.6.10	Integer32	read-write	The Upper Limit of the EMP temperature; if xupsEnvRemoteTemp rises above this value, the xupsRemoteTempBad alarm will occur. This value should be greater than xupsEnvRemoteTempLowerLimit.
