Context
We currently use the Centreon Huawei SNMP plugin for switch monitoring.
However, several important metrics available via Huawei MIBs are not yet covered by the existing plugin.
We would like to request an enhancement to include the following additional checks, based on the MIBs listed below and verified via working internal scripts.
Device Information
Vendor: Huawei
Model: S5720 series (tested on S5720-52X-LI-AC)
SNMP version: v2c
Checks Requested
| Check | Description | Example Output | MIB / OID (symbolic) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faultlight | Detects hardware fault indicator light | OK: Stack slot 1 Light Status OK | HUAWEI-ENTITY-EXTENT-MIB::hwEntityFaultLight.OID |
| Image version | Retrieves current system image version | OK: Stack slot 1 Version: V200R021C00 | HUAWEI-SYS-MAN-MIB::hwSysImageVersion.INDEX |
| Max CPU | Reports maximum CPU usage since last boot | OK: Stack slot 1: Max CPU: 45 | HUAWEI-ENTITY-EXTENT-MIB::hwEntityCpuMaxUsage.OID |
| PoE available power | Displays total PoE power available per slot | OK: Stack slot 1: PoE Power Available: 155000 mW | HUAWEI-POE-MIB::hwPoeSlotAvailablePower.STACKSLOT |
| PSU status | Checks PSU operational state and total power | OK: Stack slot 1: Power Status OK 370W PSUs | HUAWEI-ENTITY-EXTENT-MIB::hwEntityPwrState.STACKSLOT.PSUSLOT |
| Storage/VLAN consistency | Verifies VLANs defined on device against expected configuration | WARNING: Not all VLANs defined or with wrong name: VLAN10 , VLAN20 | HUAWEI-L2VLAN-MIB::hwL2VlanDescr |

Summary
We request an enhancement of the existing Huawei SNMP plugin to include:
- Faultlight status
- Image version
- Max CPU usage
- PoE available power
- PSU power and status
- VLAN consistency validation
All OIDs have been verified on live Huawei devices and are stable across multiple firmware versions.
Thank you.
