Monitoring HPE Hardware via iLO

Post by riconeo »

Hi,

Anyone know how can i get the plugin (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... r)/details) to work in Nagios XI?

The installation manual provided is not fully on Nagios XI so will need some expert advice on it.

Thank you.

I would set up a Core install(https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... start.html)and then try migrating the configuration to XI via Configure > Core Config Manager > Import Config Files. I suspect that there may be some additional steps involved setting up SNMP trap handling on the XI, but getting the config generated on the Core machine would be a good first step and help determine the next steps.

We are using the VMware appliance that nagios xi provided and have already installed the plugin. Just not sure how we can add the monitoring manually.

The nagios_hpeilo_engine plugin has a help page that can be viewed with:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/nagios_hpeilo_engine --help
You'd use this as a guide to create a command that can then be used in XI service checks. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf covers managing plugins in XI including how to add commands. Your setup may vary, but an example command can be seen in the attachments along with a service that checks the memory.
