[ENG] 5.6. [DKSF 54.3 IU] I Want to Configure Sending Notifications When a Status of a Humidity Sensor Is Changed. How Can I Do This?

Sending notifications when a status of a humidity sensor is changed is configured on the page «HUMIDITY» of a device web interface:

Configuring sensing notifications when a status of a humidity sensor is changed in a web interface of a NetPing 4PWR-220 v4SMS device

When clicking the button «Setup», a menu of settings appears that allows configuring sending notifications of the next types: Log, Syslog, E-mail, SMS (in a device with a built-in GSM modem) and SNMP Trap:

Configuring notifications for humidity sensors in a web interface of a NetPing 4PWR-220 v4SMS device

where:

  • Humidity is above Safe Range – is a checkbox, when checked a device will send notifications about exceeding a top margin of a humidity safe range. On default: checkbox is not checked;
  • Humidity is in Safe Range – is a checkbox, when checked a device will send notifications if a relative humidity is back to margins of a normal humidity. On default: checkbox is not checked;
  • Humidity is below Safe Range – is a checkbox, when checked, a device will send notifications if a relative humidity fell below a bottom margin of a safe humidity. On default: checkbox is not checked;
  • Temperature is below Safe Range – is a checkbox, when checked, a device will send notifications if a top margin of a safe temperature range is exceeded. On default: checkbox is not checked
  • Temperature in Safe Range – is a checkbox, when checked a device will send notifications if a temperature returned within the margins of a safe range. On default: checkbox is not checked;
  • Temperature is below Safe Range – is a checkbox, when checked a device will send notifications if the temperature fell below a bottom margin of a safe temperature range. On default: checkbox is not checked;
  • Sensor Fault – is a checkbox, when checked a device will send notifications if a connection with a sensor is lost/restored. On default: checkbox is not checked;
  • Include in Summary Report – is a checkbox, when checked reports about a status of a sensor will be sent via e-mail, SMS and/or SNMP Trap. Time of sending reports is specified on the pages «SMS» and «E-MAIL», periodic sending of SNMP Trap is configured on the page «SETUP» in the section «SNMP TRAP». On default: checkbox is not checked.

Using checkboxes «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Events» and «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Sensor Numbers», it is possible to send all events from all humidity sensors in a single snmpTrapOID notification or divide events and numbers of humidity sensors by different snmpTrapOID notifications, up to totally individual ones. This allows receiving individual SNMP Trap notifications for processing them in monitoring systems, for example, «damping of a humidity sensor 3» or «humidity sensor 2 is normal». When a humidity sensor fails, two SNMP Trap notifications are sent: one on a humidity and another one on temperature.

Description of snmpTrapOID of humidity and temperature from a humidity sensor:

snmpTrapOIDDescription
If checkboxes «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Events» and «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Sensor Numbers» are not checked, a code of an event and a number of a sensor are included into snmpTrapOID and can be used in a monitoring system to determine causes and sources of trap in details.
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25728.8400.D.S.N

snmpTrapOID from a humidity sensor.

where:

D – is an accessory code of a Trap notification, possible values are 6 (SNMP Trap humidity), 7 (SNMP Trap temperature);

S – is a sensor status code (event), possible values are 100 (failure), 101 (below safe), 102 (safe), 103 (above safe);

N – is a number code of a sensor channel, possible values are from 1 to 4

If a checkbox «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Events» is checked, an event code is always 127, at any event
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25728.8400.D.127.NWithin this setting, a sensor status code is set to «127», and therefore there is a common snmpTrapOID for all events
If a checkbox «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Sensor Numbers» is checked, an event code is always 99, at any event
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25728.8400.D.S.99Within this setting, a sensor status number code is set to «99» - and therefore there is a common snmpTrapOID for all channels
If checkboxes « Use common snmpTrapOID for all Events» and «Use common snmpTrapOID for all Sensor Numbers» were checked, then the event code S is always 127, and an event code N is always 99, at any event
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25728.8400.D.127.99Within this setting, a sensor status code is set to «127», and a number code is set to «99», therefore there is a common snmpTrapOID for all events and channels
