So far, I have been impressed with the attention that hardware health has been getting in the beta. As an IT Team that does not want to leverage an HP SIM server, getting this as a baked in piece of Orion will be a huge help. Currently I have to create dozens of UnDP's to gather health of all the various components by hand.
However, there are other HP hardware components that do not run a traditional Insight Agent. These are the OnBoard Administrators for HP Chassis. While I can use the locally installed Insight Agents for the health of specific blade hardware (drives, CPU, memory), I need to be able to watch the OA for its power supplies, network interconnect, fans, etc. Most of it is pulled from the CPQRack-MIB (1.3.6.1.4.1.232.22).
Are there plans to implement the ability to gather similiar hardware information from these chassis?
Supporting blade chassis is definitely something we're considering for a future release. We've already received SAM 5.0 Question from other beta customers requesting this type of functionality. We'd still like to continue to hear from other APM and Thwack users who would also like to see blade chassis support included in future releases of SAM. Information about blade chassis make/model/manufacturer that you're using would also be appreciated.
We would really like to see details on the chassis too. We have HP c7000 chassis
If you are willing to provide a MIB walk from this device using this tool I'll add it to the feature request.
I have completed some information gathering on this. Below is a matrix of the the types of checks that would be most beneficial of the c7000 blade enclosures. I have the SNMPWalk files ready to go as well, and will be sending them shortly.

We're tracking this request internally as FB107659. I welcome and encourage others to post MIB walks from other blade chassis devices so we can also add these to the request.
