Very little information about this in the Wiki or configuration guide.

 

I would like to get hardware sensors working in Observium for Dell servers, PE 2950, R310, R610, etc.  I want to alert when any sensor is not OK.  For example, hard drive failure, power supply failure, etc.

 

From what I think is possible.  That information is available in SNMP on a physical Linux server if you setup SNMP SMUX Peer to the Dell OpenManage agent running on the server?  Does Observium support it?

 

However, it appears this is not possible on physical Windows?  As well, as it look like that hardware SNMP nformation is not available either on ESXi 5+ because of lack of SNMP support integration with Dell OpenManage agent VIB.

 

I’m on correct on this?  Or can Observium get this hardware health from WS-MAN on ESXi, or IPMI to iDRAC hardware card?

 

It would be awesome to see a Observium definitive hardware monitoring guide for Dell and then HP.

 

Any information or help would be appreciated!

 

Observium rocks!

 

Oh, and the Alerting system in Pro is awesome!  However, little bit of a learning curve.  I created 9 alerts that I think should cover most issues.  Such as high cpu, low memory, device down, device rebooted, network port at half duplex, network port down, high port utilization, etc.   It would have been ideal if there was a Wiki page with all of those just laid out for examples.  Everyone just keeps adding more and more example alerts to that page.
