hardware health of servers running OpenManage Server Ad

[Beena_Jogin]

Hi,

Wanted to know if the Hardware alerts can be configured In Nagios.
Is there any license to be obtained for the same?

Thanks,
Beena

Have you looked at this plugin? https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ge/details

You can find a lot of plugins that fill various roles on the Nagios Exchange, located at https://exchange.nagios.org.

Is there any license to be obtained for the same?

You won't need any additional licensing on our end.

Yes. We have looked at the plugin. This is for Dell windows server.

Please confirm if we have to install NSClient++ on this windows server.

You could, but you shouldn't need to...

...The plugin can be used remotely with SNMP or locally with NRPE, check_by_ssh or similar, whichever suits your needs and particular taste...

Basically, you could run the check locally on the Windows machine (check_openmanage.exe) and use NSClient++ and check_nrpe:
http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/ch ... on-windows

or you could use the "check_openmanage" perl script and run the check "remotely", from your Nagios XI box (SNMP check):
http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/ch ... mote-check

We have installed NSClient++ in windows 2008 Dell server and placed check_openmanage.exe on C:\Program Files\NSClient++\ and modified nsclient.ini file as attached.


When we check the below command we are getting below error

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_openmanage -H 10.X.X.X -C Nagios -p --only memory
OUTPUT: SNMP CRITICAL: No response from remote host '10.X.X.X'

Please let us know how to proceed on this.

You're trying to call it via SNMP. You'll have to use NRPE to call the script that you put in the NSClient INI.

[bsivavani]

Please let us know what actions that we need to take next. We are using NRPE and below output from Nagios XI server

[root@auscrpmonprd00 libexec]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec
[root@auscrpmonprd00 libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 10.X.X.X
I (0.4.3.143 2015-04-29) seem to be doing fine...
[root@auscrpmonprd00 libexec]#

Here 10.X.X.X is Dell windows server.

We are not using SNMP, from where you get to know that we are using SNMP.

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_openmanage -H 10.X.X.X -C Nagios -p --only memory
OUTPUT: SNMP CRITICAL: No response from remote host '10.X.X.X'

Try a command like this:

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c check_openmanage

[bsivavani]

Please find below output.

[root@ausXXX libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 10.X.X.X -c check_openmanage
Unknown command(s): check_openmanage
[root@ausXXX libexec]#

[hsmith]

Has the NSClient service been started and stopped since adding that file to the .ini?

Code: Select all

net stop nscp
net start nscp
