System Health – Auxiliary Test
This test captures the temperature, voltage, and fan speed of the hardware of the ADC device when it connects to the health monitoring chip through pins. Besides alerting administrators to abnormal temperature, voltage, and fan speed readings, this test also helps you figure out which pin registered these abnormalities.
Target of the test : An ADC VPX/MPX device
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the ADC device being monitored.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed |
|
Host |
The IP address of the host for which the test is being configured. |
|
NetScaler Username and NetScaler Password |
To monitor a ADC device, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only privileges to the target ADC device. Specify the credentials of such a user in the NetScaler Username and NetScaler Password text boxes. |

Confirm Password |
Confirm the ADC Password by retyping it here. |
|
SSL |
The eG agent collects performance metrics by invoking NITRO (ADC Interface Through Restful interfaces and Objects) APIs on the target ADC device. Typically, the NITRO APIs can be invoked through the HTTP or the HTTPS mode. By default, the eG agent invokes the NITRO APIs using the HTTPS mode. This is why, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. If the target ADC device is not SSL-enabled, then the NITRO APIs can be accessed through the HTTP mode only. In this case, set the SSL flag to No. |
| Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Voltage 0 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 0. |
Volts |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be well within the range of the device that is connected to the health monitoring chip. A sudden/consistent increase/decrease in this value could warrant an investigation. Observe the variations in the value of this measure over time and compare the values across pins to isolate the pin through which the device was connecting when it most often registered the maximum voltage.

|
Voltage 1 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 1. |
Volts |
|
|
Voltage 2 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 2. |
Volts |
|
|
Voltage 3 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 3. |
Volts |
|
|
Voltage 4 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 4. |
Volts |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be well within the range of the device that is connected to the health monitoring chip. A sudden/consistent increase/decrease in this value could warrant an investigation. Observe the variations in the value of this measure over time and compare the values across pins to isolate the pin through which the device was connecting when it most often registered the maximum voltage.

Voltage 5 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 5. |
MB |
|
|
Voltage 6 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 6. |
MB |
|
|
Voltage 7 |
Indicates the voltage of the device connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 7. |
MB |
|
|
Fan 0 speed |
Indicates the speed of fan 0 if associated pin is connected to the health monitoring chip. |
Rpm |
Ideally, the speed of the fans must be within normal limits. High fan speed can very often be attributed to high temperatures. If a fan speed is found to be abnormal, then, you may want to check the Temperature measures reported by the test to figure out whether any device connecting to the health monitoring chip has recorded a very high temperature at around the same time. This way, you can also isolate the pin through which that device was connecting at the time of the problem. |
|
Fan 1 speed |
Indicates the speed of fan 1 if associated pin is connected to the health monitoring chip. |
Rpm |
|
|
Fan 2 speed |
Indicates the speed of fan 2 if associated pin is connected to the health monitoring chip. |
Rpm |
|
|
Fan 3 speed |
Indicates the speed of fan 3 if associated pin is connected to the health monitoring chip. |
Rpm |
|
|
Temperature 0 |
Indicates the temperature of the device that is connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 0. |
Celsius |
An abnormal temperature may cause damage to the device. So the temperature of the device must be well within normal limits. |
|
Temperature 1 |
Indicates the temperature of the device that is connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 1. |
Celsius |
|
|
Temperature 2 |
Indicates the temperature of the device that is connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 2. |
Celsius |
|
|
Temperature 3 |
Indicates the temperature of the device that is connected to the health monitoring chip through pin 3. |
Celsius |
