Looking over both of those I am still a bit confused.

 

For example with a Juniper switch (http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos11.1/topics/reference/general/chassistraps-nm-mib.html)

 

in the event of a fan failure it woudl send the trap jnxFanFailure 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.4.1 this is repeated every hour until the issue is resolved at this point a jnxFanOK 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.4.2 is sent.

 

 

With the f5 is there anyway to know that the issue is resolved. Looking at the MIB there are 3 different fan failure traps but none defined that state that there is no longer an issue http://ipmsupport.solarwinds.com/mibs/F5-BIGIP-COMMON-MIB/tree.aspx

 

I also have not been able to find any documentation on a repeat interval that would let you know the issue is resolved when it is no longer seen repeating.
