Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

What is userCause?

A read-only IBM-defined code point (0-65535), with up to 4 instances per trap in decreasing order of likelihood, denoting a probable user or customer action that caused the reported problem. Admins use this to see whether the fault might stem from a configuration mistake or misuse rather than a hardware or software defect.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.5.1.13.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IbmFaultMgmt-MIB::userCause

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.5.1.13.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IbmFaultMgmt-MIB::userCause.1

Start monitoring IBM networking/systems hardware (fault management and asset ID) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the IbmFaultMgmt-MIB::userCause OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any IBM networking/systems hardware (fault management and asset ID) from a single console.
