Even with those agents installed, the W figures still come from the BMC which has chips/sensors in place to monitor the power consumption. If your server doesn't offer this, there is no way to do it (you can get a PDU which does [individual socket] power monitoring though). If it does support it, you likely already have it through the ILO.

Hi,
Thanks for that, I will have to google as the links in the post sadly no longer exist or the server either, and the packages dont seem to exist in any existing repos either
Also Is it possible to get the power watts of standard computers?
We have a HP small form pc being used as a server at the moment, til we get a proliant server and would be nice to see the stats of that
Regards

Hi Simon, If you run Linux and its HP Proliant-servers you should be able to use HPs linux pagages hp-health and hp-snmp-agents. These will extend snmpd on your linux-server with additional Proliant-specific data, it usually gives PSU power among other stats and Observium will pick up these extended values if they are present. There is a small guide here on how to install the HP-packages on linux: https://thejimmahknows.com/linux-hp-proliant-snmp-agent-setup/

Hi All, Im trying to find out if the is a way to monitor power watts of our servers? We currently monitor a few HP server, which ALREADY show the power watts, as they have the iLO integrated and the power management chip, so all good there But the is a few which don’t have iLO or the power chips So can i monitor the power watts from within linux or windows at all?
