Overview

When monitoring a Cisco Catalyst Switch, the Hardware Health widget does not provide the Network Module status (UP or Down).

The example below shows a faulty network module on module 7.

 

 

However, the Current Hardware Health Widget does not show the status of the faulty module.

Cause

In the scope of Cisco HWH polling, currently we poll from CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB only sensors from cefcFanTrayStatusTable and the cefcFRUPowerStatusTable tables.

The Information for Network modules can be retrieved from cefcModuleTable, but the SolarWinds Platform does not support HWH polling for modules.

Resolution

Submit a feature request to prioritize supporting hardware health polling for modules.
