In this chapter
This chapter describes the monitoring capabilities of the SmartNICs. The parameters described in the chapter can be monitored from the application through the API or by using the monitoring tool (see DN-0449).
Monitoring parameters can be divided into optical module parameters and SmartNIC parameters. They consist of both sensor parameters and state parameters.

Monitoring parameters for NT SmartNICs
This table shows the most important SmartNIC parameters of which the NT SmartNICs provide monitoring.
Parameter | Mode of Operation |
---|---|
Link status | Ethernet link status per port |
PCB temperature | PCB temperature level and alarm |
FPGA temperature | FPGA temperature level and alarm Automatic over-temperature shutdown Note: Three FPGA temperature levels are significant:
Note: When the
LogToSystem parameter in the
ntservice.ini
file (see DN-0449) is set to
1, the warning messages are also logged in the system
log.
|
Time synchronization status | Status on SmartNIC time synchronization and loss of synchronization |
Fan speed | Speed of the cooling fan Note: An out-of-range fan speed
event is written to the hardware log if the fan rotates at a speed outside a
specific range. The event can be monitored from the application through the API.

Critical temperature | Temperature of critical components |
Power | Total power consumption |
