### Items

|Name|Description|Type|Key and additional info|
|----|-----------|----|-----------------------|
|Overall system health status|
MIB: IMM-MIB

Indicates status of system health for the system in which the IMM resides. Value of 'nonRecoverable' indicates a severe error has occurred and the system may not be functioning. A value of 'critical' indicates that an error has occurred but the system is currently functioning properly. A value of 'nonCritical' indicates that a condition has occurred that may change the state of the system in the future but currently the system is working properly. A value of 'normal' indicates that the system is operating normally.

**Preprocessing**

- 
Custom multiplier: `0.01`

|
|Uptime (hardware)|
MIB: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

The amount of time since this host was last initialized. Note that this is different from sysUpTime in the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC1907] because sysUpTime is the uptime of the network management portion of the system.
|SNMP agent|system.hw.uptime[hrSystemUptime.0]
**Preprocessing**

- 
Check for not supported value: `any error`

⛔️Custom on fail: Set value to: `0`

|
|SNMP traps (fallback)|
The item is used to collect all SNMP traps unmatched by other snmptrap items
|SNMP trap|snmptrap.fallback|
|System location|
MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

Physical location of the node (e.g., `equipment room`, `3rd floor`). If not provided, the value is a zero-length string.
|SNMP agent|system.location[sysLocation.0]
**Preprocessing**

- 
Discard unchanged with heartbeat: `12h`

|
|System contact details|
MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

|SNMP agent|system.contact[sysContact.0]
**Preprocessing**

- 
Discard unchanged with heartbeat: `12h`

|
|System object ID|
MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

The vendor's authoritative identification of the network management subsystem contained in the entity. This value is allocated within the SMI enterprises subtree (1.3.6.1.4.1) and provides an easy and unambiguous means for determining`what kind of box' is being managed.  For example, if vendor`Flintstones, Inc.' was assigned the subtree1.3.6.1.4.1.4242, it could assign the identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.4242.1.1 to its `Fred Router'.</p>|SNMP agent|system.objectid[sysObjectID.0]<p>**Preprocessing**</p><ul><li><p>Discard unchanged with heartbeat: `12h`

|
|System name|
MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

|SNMP agent|system.name
**Preprocessing**

- 
Discard unchanged with heartbeat: `12h`

|
|System description|
MIB: SNMPv2-MIB

include the full name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software operating-system, and

networking software.

**Preprocessing**

-

The host accessibility by ICMP ping.

0 - ICMP ping fails;

1 - ICMP ping successful.
|Simple check|icmpping|

|ICMP response time|
The ICMP ping response time (in seconds).
