Thresholds for the "fan" option should be inverted

Open Doctor-love opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

If the goal with the "fan" option is to control if the fans work correctly, isn't it better to check if the RPM is bigger than the provided warning and critical thresholds?

I would have submitted a patch if I still had access to a IronPort for testing! :-)

You might be right, although if the fans spin too fast, they might damage themselves. :wink: Unfortunately I also don't have access to an IronPort device any more to check this.

I guess the proper solution would be to implement Nagios threshold ranges, but it might be a lot of work just for the fan check.
