CPU core, fan speed and Mainboard temperature monitoring

[ITOMB_IMT]

Hi,

I am using nagios XI 5.7.3 and currently am looking for plugins to monitor Dell server for CPU core, temperatures and “fan” speeds, Mainboard temperatures. Please help me in finding a suitable plugin for the purpose.

I searched exchange i found this https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ge/details to monitor server, but i dont see any information about fan speed or temperature. Also i found some urls from this post https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =16&t=9082 which weren't in use now. Please guide me in right path to find suitable plugin to monitor my dell server CPU core temperatures, fan speed.

Thanks in advance.

We do not have access to Dell Equipment to test this but I did find a few other plugins that may work for you.

It looks like the author is no longer supporting that plugin so it is not available and it will be removed from the Exchange site.

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... XI/details
is no longer in use and https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ge/details[/quote] doesn't have more information on how to use it like what type of agent has to be used to monitor, what parameters has to be passed. Please let me know if there are any other options available.

Thanks,

This plugin says it uses Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) comtroller and a REST API to gather the data.

If your servers have that, then this plugin should work.
It also required the 'omsdk' library installation and the instructions are here for installing that and the other requirements for the plugin.

I followed all the steps defined in the documents and i am getting an error while configuring server from Dell EMC OpenManage Plug-in for Nagios XI configuration wizard. I provided ip address in subnet but when i proceed further it says "Given Subnet value is invalid", even after providing netmask value, the same error.

Please provide me some light in proceeding further.

Thanks,

I think the Wizard cannot have a specific IP address used for the Subnet field.

For example, it your network is 192.168.1.x and is a Class C network, you would put in the following in the Subnet field.

Code: Select all

192.168.1.0/24

Try that and see if it works.

Hi,

I configured snmp to monitor dell server with agentless monitoring. when i try from XI server command line to find the storage value of server of with snmp its working. But when i gave subnet value and all the required fields and click on next it errors " None of the IP addresses are reachable". In the video shown in article i see some more configuration parameters like warranty url. Please help me to come out of this error.

Thanks,

You are going to have to contact Dell to see what their wizard it checking when it runs. We do not have access to any Dell equipment to see what it is trying to look for.
The wizard logs file to this folder.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/dellemc/log

Take a look there to see if you can figure out why it is not finding any hosts.
