[Nagios-users] Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring

[Gerhard L. <Ger...@co...>]

Hi,

i make a plugin, which checks the state of CPUs, fans, power supplies, fans
and memory modules of HP Proliant servers with the hpasm software installed.
Maybe it is useful for some of you.

Hi Marcus,

i can understand, not-so-important servers are not fully equipped.=20
I will introduce an option like "-b ps:3,..." to blacklist the named
components (skip checking power supply #3 in this example).

Maybe by the end of the week. Keep an eye on
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm (the broken download
link has been fixed).=20

Great, thanks a lot! After that is finished, i'm looking forward to 
deploy the check throughout my network. :-)

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring

[<joe...@li...>]

I have been reading this check_hpasm thread and looked at some of the 
documentation which seems to suggest the plugin is used for monitoring HP 
proliant hardware that is only running a linux system. 

Does anyone know of any tweaks or similar plugins that can get the same 
sort of information from Proliant servers running Windows. Or a plugin 
that can take the data gleamed from Insight Manager and display it into 
Nagios.

If anyone can point me in the right direction to a URL that provides 
further reading that would be greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks for any and all comments.

Joe

Well, I wrote something like this some years ago, mainly to check fans 
and temperature.
I posted it to the mailing-list and I uploaded the plugins to sourceforge.
That was in January 2005. They are in the contrib directory in the 
nagiosplugins source distribution.
You should get hold of an InsightManager CD and copy the MIBs to the 
directory where your SNMP-client stores MIBs.
Then you can use a SNMP-browser (like mbrowse on Unix-systems) to access 
the MIBs and get an idea of what you should be looking at.

Please note that these plugins are very crude - there's probably a more 
elegant way to access all these MIBs and automate some of the hardcoded 
stuff in there...


cheers,
Rainer

Re: [Nagios-users] Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring

[<joe...@li...>]

Hi Rainer,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have the CD's here somewhere for 
Insight Manager and will have a look to find the MIBS for the particular 
hardware.  (never thought to look on the CD's). Downloading an SNMP 
browser from the internet should be easy enough.
When I manage to find some free time I'll investigate further and let the 
list know how I got on.

Once again, thanks for your input.

Joe

Technically, the plugins don't need the MIBs.

They are just "nice to have" - and you can get a good idea for more  
things to monitor.
You can also use them in cacti etc.

I don't know where I took the MIBs from. Maybe you've got to fetch  
them from an actual install.

Rainer

Thanks a lot for the new version! The blacklist switch works like a=20

blacklisted.

I'll be deploying this version asap. Thanks again, very good work!

[Gerhard L. <Ger...@co...>]

Hi,

the "official" 1.3 is now available at
http://www.consol.de/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm
There's an option --with-degrees for ./configure which lets you chose
between temperatures displayed as celsius or fahrenheit.
The second and important new thing is the --blacklist option.
And for Sim i added Trustix support.

Have fun,
Gerhard

p.s. there was a question wether something like hpasm exists for =
Windows. I
don't monitor Windows servers, i think there is a snmp-based plugin
check_compaq_health. No idea, what has to be installed on the machine.
