Install and Configure Supero Doctor III Agent
Service
In order to monitor some devices in the Niagara system such as fan speeds, CPU temperature, system
temperatures, etc., you need to install the third-party Supero Doctor III client and Supero Doctor III
SNMPagent service (also called SuperMicro Health Assistant service) in the system.
Note: Some fans on the Niagara 7550 may not be in use. You need to disable monitoring these fans
to avoid receiving unnecessary SNMP traps on these fans.
However, you need to enable the monitoring for the associated devices on which SNMP traps
are expected in case the device parameters are out of the pre-defined range. For a monitoring
enabled device, if the current reading is out of the range of the pre-defined low limit and high
limit, ViewCast SNMP Agent Service will send a trap to all the configured trap destinations.
In the current release, health monitoring related SNMP traps are only available for devices such
as fan speed, CPU temperature, and system temperature.
