Monitor Lenovo XClarity Controller 2

[riahc3]

Hello

Nagios has recent, decent and modern plugins for iDRAC and iLO but I want to know if there is something for Lenovo XClarity Controller 2

Everything Ive found for now is pretty outdated and doesnt work in modern OS.

Could you recommend the best way to monitor this?

Thank you

Thanks for reaching out @riahc3,

I found this link

You'd probably have to write or modify a plugin that scrapes this webpage to get the relevant information.

Thank you for your reply.

Seems unusual there isnt any plugin already made....Even if its old...if it works, it works.

No-one has any experience?

Also scraping the page with credentials and such seems like a bit of a nightmare

Scraping isn't terrible if you use Beautiful Soup in python. I believe a few plugins work by scraping a web page.

Otherwise, It looks like there are a few CLI options, including SNMP

So you can follow these directions to set up SNMP and then using the SNMP wizard in XI.
