Monitoring HPE Hardware Through iLo

[JustinSpotless]

Hello,

I am having issues with monitoring hardware on our HPE ProLiant servers. All of the servers have iLo4 or iLo5 set up with SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 enabled.

When using the SNMP Wizard on one of the iLo5 servers, the only services I see are Uptime, Port 1 Status, IBM RSA II Adapter Temperature, Cisco VPN Sessions.
Using SNMP Walk Wizard on the same server with an empty OID shows the OIDs sysDescr.0, sysObjectID.0, sysUpTimeInstance, sysContact.0, sysName.0, sysLocation.0.

I get a similar result on iLo4, but with the SNMP walk I also see a range of Services of ifIndex.1, ifDescr.1, ifType.1, ifMtu.1, ifSpeed.1, ifPhysAddress.1, ifAdminStatus.1, ifOperStatus.1, ifLastChange.1, ifInOctets.1, ifInUcastPkts.1, ifInNUcastPkts.1.

It seems to me that I am missing the correct MIB but I have scanned through HP's documentation and MIB repositories and have not been able to find the one I need.

I've also tried using pretty much all of the plugins on Nagios Exchange. The most promising looked to be A Nagios Plug-in for iLO Agentless Management (HPE ProLiant Server) but I receive an error when installing on CentOS stating "Please make sure if you have installed nagios". From looking at the source, it seems the project hasn't been active recently and the issue has already been reported.

Could anyone please suggest anything else I could try, or suggest which MIB needs to be installed to monitor hardware through HP iLo?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Justin

I came across this and the latest MIBs can be downloaded from here. MIBs can be imported in XI under Admin > System Extensions > Manage MIBs.

Hi cdienger,

Thanks for the resource. I didn't realize the SIM MIBs could be used.

I imported all 300 MIBs and fixed the user/group and permissions, but unfortunately I am still getting the same result.

Is there anything else you could suggest trying?
