check_openmanage Description

A health monitoring tool for Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault check_openmanage is a Nagios plugin that can be used to check the health of Dell PowerEdge and Dell PowerVault servers. It uses the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) software to accomplish this task. check_openmanage can be used with SNMP or NRPE, whichever suits your needs and particular taste. The plugin checks the health of the storage subsystem, power supplies, memory modules, temperature probes etc., and gives an alert if any of the components are faulty or operate outside normal parameters.Nagios and check_openmanageThe plugin can give performance data with the -p|--perfdata switch. Performance data collected include temperatures, fan speeds and power usage (on servers that support it).Storage components checked:Controllers- Physical drives- Logical drives- Cache batteries- Connectors (channels)- Enclosures- Enclosure fans- Enclosure power supplies- Enclosure temperature probes- Enclosure management modules (EMMs)Chassis components checked:- Processors- Memory modules- Cooling fans- Temperature probes- Power supplies- Batteries- Voltage probes- Power usage- Chassis intrusion (default disabled)Other:- ESM Log health- ESM Log content (default disabled)- Alert Log (default disabled, not SNMP)check_openmanage will identify blades and will not report "missing" power supplies, cooling fans etc. on blades. It will also accept that other components are "missing", unless for components that should be present in all servers. For example, all servers should have at least one temperature probe, but not all servers have logical drives (depends on the type and configuration of the controller).This nagios plugin is designed to be used by either NRPE or with SNMP. It is written in perl. In NRPE mode, it uses omreport to display status on various hardware components. In SNMP mode, it checks the same components as with omreport. Output is parsed and reported in a Nagios friendly way.check_openmanage provides two handy options (--blacklist and --check) that gives you the possibility to blacklist one or more hardware components that you won't fix, and to fine-tune which components are checked in the first place. See the man page for more info.Note that checking the Alert Log is not supported via SNMP. This is a limitation in OMSA. What's New in This Release: · Processor type, family, etc. are now reported in case of a CPU failure (and in the debug output). · The debug output now reports Openmanage version and plugin version.
