Infoblox Temperature Test

It is very important to monitor the appliance for temperature because if the temperature of the appliance reaches higher than the limit, it can cause both temporary and permanent damage to electronics. Sometimes temperature may be increasing despite fans working properly, so fan status may not be enough to ensure the proper functioning of the appliance. In these cases, administrators will be alerted and they can diagnose further to identify and fix the issue before appliance operation is impacted.

This test reports current temperature of CPU and system in the target Infoblox appliance. Using this test, administrators will always be aware of temperature movements and can take corrective actions even before the heat can harm other components or affect the functioning of the appliance.

Target of the test : An Infoblox appliance

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Infoblox appliance that is to be monitored.
