entPhySensorOperStatus

Module: ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorOperStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: EntitySensorStatus

Access: read-only

Description: The operational status of the sensor.

What is entPhySensorOperStatus?

This read-only value reports the operational status of a physical sensor, such as whether it is actively reporting valid data, has failed, or is disabled. Admins monitor it to distinguish a genuinely bad reading (like an overheating chassis) from a sensor that is simply not functioning. For example, an entPhySensorOperStatus of nonoperational would tell an admin the sensor itself has failed rather than that the monitored condition is actually critical.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorOperStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorOperStatus.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> entPhySensorOperStatus.1
