HARDWARE HEALTH POLLING PREFERRED CISCO MIB

I've looked at the other questions on THWACK regarding the Cisco Preferred MIB setting and I realize it depends on the MIB a device supports. I am wondering though what people find works best for them: 1) set the global setting to CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB and override it in the node if needed, or 2) set the global setting to CISCO-ENVMON-MIB and then override it in the node if needed.

I have mine set to CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB. But just the other day I had to switch some of my 9300 switches to CISCO-ENVMON-MIB so NPM could pick up power issue.

In case it is helpful, here is some SWQL code to find nodes that override the Preferred Cisco MIB setting:

SELECT N.NodeID, N.Caption, N.IPAddress,
N.MachineType,
N.HardwareHealthInfos.Model,
N.IOSVersion,
(SELECT SettingValue FROM Orion.NodeSettings WHERE (NodeID = N.NodeID AND SettingName = 'HardwareHealth.PreferredCiscoMIB')) AS PreferredCiscoMIB
FROM Orion.Nodes AS N
WHERE N.Category = 1
AND N.Vendor = 'Cisco'
ORDER BY N.Caption

Thanks for your response. I am finding the same thing.
