By default, all sensors available in the selected MIB are monitored on devices with enabled hardware health monitoring. True or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not configurable
• D. Depends on device

Answer: (A)

When hardware health monitoring is enabled, the monitoring engine pulls data from the sensors defined in the device’s MIB and treats all of those sensors as active for monitoring. The MIB describes what the device can report—temperature, voltages, fan speeds, currents, and similar health metrics—so by default you get visibility across all of those sensors that the device exposes. If a particular sensor isn’t exposed by the device’s SNMP agent, it won’t appear or be monitored. You can later adjust which sensors to focus on or suppress, but the starting behavior is to monitor every MIB-defined sensor for the device.
