Minor Description
Since XOS 22.3.1.4 or some versions below Extreme added the feature to pull dBm values from the ports. Works "ok" so far... only interger values are support crap.
Observium is supporting this feature but during the convertion of this value it fails.
Converted DBM value: -7.0E-6 W -> FALSE |
And sensor_unit is wrong. Output is dBm. Attached debug log and a CLI output from the transceiver.

Upgraded to latest Extreme XOS 22.4.1.4 patch1-3 ( ssh) which solved the issue but still invalid results. Now it looks like that the convertion from W to dBm is not working well. I get different results when using https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/power/dBm_to_Watt.html and that results are 99% matching the SNMP and CLI values.
Attached is a poller debug.
Ok, what I see.. this is exactly vendor bug.
Tx Power (dBm) : -6.00 Status : Normal

Low Warn Threshold : -9.00 High Warn Threshold : -3.00
|
Low Alarm Threshold : -10.00 High Alarm Threshold : -2.00

Rx Power (dBm) : -7.78 Status : Normal
|
Low Warn Threshold : -21.02 High Warn Threshold : -3.00

entPhySensorValue.275 = -5
|
entPhySensorValue.276 = -7
|
entPhySensorType.275 = watts
|
entPhySensorType.276 = watts
|
entPhySensorScale.275 = micro
|
entPhySensorScale.276 = micro
|
Device reported raw dbm values instead watts (also ignored/incorrect scale). Or scale is correct, but value anyway incorrect.
Try update firmware of write to vendor support, here should be possitive values in watts.
I.e. -7.78 dBm = 0.0001666 W or with scale micro values should be 167.
Hrm, device reported incorrect power value:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.4.275 = -6
|
.1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.4.276 = -7
|
with multiplier 0.000001 that equals -6.0E-6 / -7.0E-6, but power not possible to be negative number (for dom sensors). Minimum is 0.
Attach debug discovery for sensors:
./discovery.php -d -m sensors -h <device>
