Monitoring Stack Members by SNMP

In a stacked environment we have an issue trying to monitor a stack member status by 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.13.2.2.1.11 (agentInventoryUnitStatus) ideally to trigger an alert via numeric value 5-notPresent 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10895.5000.2.6132.1.1.13.2.2.1.14 (agentInventoryUnitUpTime) All we get is values for the master switch. Why is it that there is no availability to monitor member units? Too many time's i've seen people say use traps but there's no guarantee that the traps would be passed during a master failure. Thanks

I'm guessing by the OID that these are probably stacked N-series switches? As mentioned in the provided link, some of the OIDs are for triggering of traps only and can't be polled, but it also seems to indicate that a trap (if successfully sent) shows the problematic member. https://www.dell.com/community/Networking-General/Monitor-N2000-Stack-Status/td-p/4661086 In cases where the master fails, the backup should take over and provide, at minimum, a trap showing a backup switch has become the new master. Hope this helps.
