entPhySensorUnitsDisplay

Module: ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpAdminString

Access: read-only

Description: A textual description of the data units that should be used in the display of entPhySensorValue.

What is entPhySensorUnitsDisplay?

This read-only string gives a human-readable description of the units that should accompany the entPhySensorValue reading when displayed. Admins use it so a management application can label a sensor's value correctly without hardcoding unit assumptions based on entPhySensorType alone. For example, this might read "Volts DC" to properly label a voltage sensor's displayed value on a dashboard.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorUnitsDisplay

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB::entPhySensorUnitsDisplay.1
