Cause
Resolution
- Start Universal Device Poller (UnDP)
- Create a new poller using the following OID(s):
- PRIMARY: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.1.1.1.3.6 (Primary) This OID will need to be assigned to only the Primary ASA
- SECONDARY: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.1.1.1.3.7 (Secondary) This OID will need to be assigned to only the Secondary ASA
- If the OID's don't work, use the SolarWinds SNMP Walk tool on the device and use 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.147.1.2.1.1.1.3 as a search to figure out what the last value is on the device.
- Universal Device Poller Example should look like this:
- Make sure to set SNMP Get Type to GET since the default for these OID(s) is GET TABLE
- When setting up the Alert this is for when the Primary Fails over to Secondary so an Alert will fire:
- The value you can see is 10 for Standby per Cisco Documentation above. The OID is also the Custom poller that was created.
- If you want to get a reset when the secondary fails over back to the primary you can do this with the reset action email.
