Cisco Entity Sensor MIB

Has anyone taken the Cisco Entity Sensor MIB and used it to create monitoring and alarms for an IOS-XE device?

I know I take entPhysicalDescr to get the description of what is monitored and then entSensorType for the type of data (volts/celsius/amps) and then entSensorPrecision for the number of decimal places to transform and then entSensorValue for the actual value and then entSensorScale to get the .

These five queries will give me something like:
subslot 0/2 voltage Sensor 4 : 2482 mV DC

Then you would use entSensorThresholdSeverity and entSensorThresholdRelation and entSensorThresholdValue to get your alarm parameters.  Using the above example, my alarm parameters would be:

greater than 4875 mV = minor alarm
greater than 5125 mV = critical alarm
less than 125 mV = minor alarm
less than -125 mV = critical alarm

So, right now I would have no alarm for  subslot 0/2 voltage Sensor 4.

Has this been done?  What's the best way to set this up if it hasn't been done?

Thanks in advance!
