Nagios plug-in for iLO Agentless Management
------------------------------------------
Nagios plug-in for iLO Agentless Management aims to automatically manage HP
ProLiant servers within the data center. With the help of the plug-in,
the administator does not need to configure the nagios configuration file
(/nagios_etc_path/conf.d) manually. The plug-in automatically writes the
server configuration to the nagios configuration file
(/nagios_etc_path/cfg_dir/ilo.cfg, for example: /etc/nagios3/conf.d/ilo.cfg
under Ubuntu 13.04) once any of HP ProLiant servers is discovered
within the data center.
Requirements:
-------------
- Net-snmp
- snmptrapd
- curl
- nmap (version >= 5.51)
- HP ProLiant Server
Features:
-------------
1) Discover and monitor HP ProLiant servers within data center automatically. There are two alternatives to discover HP ProLiant servers.
1.1) Active discovery: The active discovery scans all available servers
in the network of the monitoring server. This
approach can discovery all up and running servers
with the data center. This feature is supported
started version 1.1.0. Note that this feature
is a time-consuming process if your data center
has lots of hosts/IP addresses to be discovered.
1.2) Passive discovery: The passive discovery discovers HP ProLiant
servers once receiving the cold start traps
generated by those servers. The traps are
generated when those servers get booted
successfully, so this approach cannot discover
the up and running servers within the data
center.
2) Provide the high-level server status.
3) Display the server status in real-time if the status is changed.
4) Categorize the preferred servers into the same host group.
