Hi Nick,

 

Is your DataCentre/Comms room over 40 Degrees? I think it would be prudent to stick to manufacturers guidelines for heating alerts, rather than adjust them to stop alerts being raised.

 

The other alternative is to configure Nagios to ignore anything below your threshold (If you feel that confident...)

Yes this is one of the solutions which will be implemented to solve this but i was wondering how the temperatures mentioned in the product info sheet are translated. Like 0- 40 Celsius is for the device internal temperature or for the ambient air temperature. And what are the warning temperatures for the device it self cause i need to set up my monitoring program not only to warn me about the temperature if exceeded more than 40 degrees but also to have a flag when it reaches "critical".
