You should monitor your Dell server using snmp on the idrac itself like its a different device.
The most important thing is the global status
It will display in alert in the statuses front page.
The global status is the color of the led when it's amber you have an issue. Now you will be able to see that in observium as well.
Good luck. David

Hi everyone,
There is documentation about IPMI on observium ? what the advantage ? benefit ? I have several DELL server with IDRAC and IPMI and only monitored my server with SNMP.
Have a good day.

Hello,
I have make some tries but I’m still spammed with fake alerting.
Delay value is in minute ? How can I debug poller to check if I really lost ping ? (I’m on a 10 gbit backbone network.. I’m really surprise).
Regards
pierrick

it isn't just one ping, it tries multiple before it marks a device as down.
You can set the delay field, which will cause the alert to wait for x number of down periods before it triggers.

It’s possible to add a delay before triggering ? Like waiting 5 ping lost before triggering ?

Delay is in poller intervals.
If you're getting notifications that your devices are down, you have some pretty serious network problems, as it takes quite a lot to actually mark something as down.

Hi, my 2 cents:
I have a delay of 1 on my device_down alert, just to prevent false positives. SNMP just sometimes has a hickup. Although usually I don’t have these, but in order to prevent panic/heart attacks, I did introduce that 1 time delay on my device down alerts.
Haven you applied alert checkers on port-errors all around your network as well? CRC/port errors, and things like these you might want to fix first before you actually get in to device down alerting. Just a simple "ifInErrors_rate gt 0 & ifOutErrors_rate gt 0 on ifType equals ethernetCsmacd” alert-check will give you all these ports. you’d be surprised how much stuff is wrong in an average network. Also certainly check the port to which your observium machine is connected to, and make sure to monitor your observium machine as well, make sure your machine is well specced out.
In addition to this, I’ve configured IP SLA on all our core routers to see/verify that latency on our links is within the SLA parameters of our suppliers.
Do this before you check on devices down.
