AKCP remote monitoring devices, such as the sensorProbe2 or sensorProbe8 SNMP are compatible, so that a reliable integration into the WhatsUp ® Gold from Ipswitch Network Management Solution is easily possible.
Add the MIB in WhatsUp Gold / WhatsUp Professional
Copy the latest AKCP in the WhatsUp Gold MIB directory C: \ Program Files \ Ipswitch \ WhatsUpGold \ Data \ Mibs.
The latest AKCP MIB can request you free of charge for our support. WhatsUp Professional users to copy the MIB in the directory C: \ Program Files \ Ipswitch \ WhatsUp Professional \ Data \ Mibs.
Important: After you have copied the MIB to the directory where WhatsUp Gold or WhatsUp Professional must necessarily be restarted!
Setting up the MIB ID
WhatsUp Gold provides a command line program called mibextra.exe to update the MIB and trap information, WhatsUp Gold references. The program is located in the directory that is installed in the WhatsUp Gold.
To run the MIB extractor:
At the prompt, please enter the following command: WhatsUp mibextra> directory_name / sp.mib |
 |
 |
|
See here how the MIB and the trap information, WhatsUp Professional will be updated via mibextra.exe. |
|
Note: If you provide the mib extractor, the error message "failed to open file", then there are in the MIB file sp.mib dependencies. These dependencies are listed in the import part of the MIB file - this must be in the same directory as the MIB file!
Setting up the SNMP Performance Monitors / temperature trends in the server room / data center record
Here we show you how the temperature of your server room / data center with sensorProbe8 including SNMP-enabled temperature sensor (TMP01-AK) and WhatsUp Professional to monitor and prepare for the actual temperature values so-called temperature charts / Temperature Charts:
See the next steps: |

 |
|
1. Please click the right mouse button on the card to which you want to add the monitoring hardware.
2. Use the right mouse button, select New> New Device.
3. In the dialog box, please add a new device to enter the IP address of the monitoring hardware.
4. Click the "Advanced" and it appears the lower window |
|
 |
|
5. The Device Discovery dialog box "Properties", please delete the active selection and the performance monitor, so that only the Ping Monitor is active and enter the "community string" in the "SNMP read communities' field. In this case, the string "Public is". 6. Then click OK.
7. WhatsUp Professional will scan the IP address with the help of the SNMP community strings in order to identify the device. Upon completion of the identification of monitoring hardware by WhatsUp Professional will see a new dialog box. |
|
 |
|
8. Once the scan is completed according to new monitoring hardware device properties are displayed. Please choose the Performance Monitor section.
9. In the section Performance Monitor, click on "New".
10. Choose a type SNMP Performance Monitor and click OK and get the window shown below. |

11. In the Add Performance Counter dialog, under Name, type "temperature Port1 on sensorProbe8 a". 12. The performance counter OID for the temperature sensor reads .1.3.6.1.4.1.3854.1.2.2.1.16.1.3.0. The OID description of the environmental sensors, see the user manual or AKCP here. Note: If only the MIB, but do not have the specific OID for the performance counters are ready, please use the MIB browser in which you press the (...)- field. Using the MIB browser, open the MIB and select the correct OID. This OID is then entered in the Performance Counter box.
13. In the Interval box, please enter the time interval of the monitoring data acquisition hardware with WhatsUp Gold. In this case, the temperature retrievals from the server room every 5 minutes.
14. Click OK to start with the temperature monitoring and data collection.

Experience shows that it takes several queries to the AKCP monitoring hardware by WhatsUp Gold to get enough data for meaningful performance analysis. Once enough data has been collected, you can create solid performance reports. Use the steps as follows:
1. Right mouse button on the appropriate device icon and generate reports via the Report View.
2. If you select the Custom Performance Monitor, for example, receive reports on the temperature curve from the time when the monitor was activated. |
