HP ProCurve3 4000 fan failure polling

Hi.

I have several HP Procurve 4000s that want to either poll or run trap rules on to detect fan failures.

I haven't been able to find an oid that works to poll fan status so I've been looking at trap rules. The problem I'm having with those is that I get the traps and can trigger actions based on the snmpTrapOID, whih would allow me to trigger actions for all hpSwitch4000's, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get actions to trigger on the content of the trap details, to allow me to trigger actions for fan events only.

Below are examples of 2 of the records I'm working with. There is not an oid for eventDescription in the SNMPv2MIB that I can find.

                                                                                    eventDescription.70=I 11/19/07 13:13:52 chassis: Fan OK: Fan: 1 Failures: 10
                                                                                    snmpTrapEnterprise=hpSwitch4000

                                                                                    eventDescription.70=W 11/19/07 13:13:44 chassis: Fan failure: Fan: 1 Failures: 10
                                                                                    snmpTrapEnterprise=hpSwitch4000

How do I create a rule that triggers actions based on the contents of the Trap Details field?

I'm pretty new to Orion so if this is a stupid question, sorry.

Thanks,

Pat

We don't have any ProCurve switches but have you tried any of the following OIDs?

hpFanOperational: 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.17.7.1.1.1.9.1.2

snChasFanOperStatus: 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.12.1.1.3.1.1.3

I had tried the first one before. I just tried the other one today.

When I set it up in a MIB poller, It returns "The OID is not supported".
