Probe: Device Environmental Checks

The device environmental checks probe monitors critical environmental metrics for managed switches including power supply, fan and temperature for real-time values of historical data retention over time.

When you instantiate this predefined probe, the instantiation menu displays a list of switch models in the blueprint. PSU count, fan count and air-flow direction information provide intent for deploying the switches.

If you have multiple blueprints that use the same switch model, you can set one expectation for the switch in one blueprint and a different expectation for the switch in a different blueprint.

Within one blueprint, all switches of the same model must have the same expectations. For example, you can’t differentiate between specific QFX5120-48Y switches.

For more information about this probe, from the blueprint, navigate to Analytics > Probes, click Create Probe, then select Instantiate Predefined Probe from the drop-down list. Select the probe from the Predefined Probe drop-down list to see details specific to the probe.
