Monitoring HP Blade hardware & chassis

[MRStMichaels]

We are currently running Nagios XI 2014R1.3 and are looking for a way to monitor our data center hardware. We are specifically looking for a way to monitor our HP C7000 Chassis and the blades therein.

I've done several searches in the exchange as well as in the library and have come up with Check_HP, but it hasn't been updated in over a year. Additionally it appears that the author doesn't own any HP hardware to test against according to a 2013 comment.

Does anyone have suggestions on another way to complete this?

Does it support SNMP? If so, it would be simple enough to check versus the OID for the information you want, if it's available.

the C7000 support sending SNMP traps
this post on the HP community forums covers exactly what you want to do

combine the information there about sending snmp traps and the MIB with the information here about setup SNMP Traps with Nagios and you will have a win

while the above link is about XI the installer works for core too

may also be easier to use NSTI
