HARDWARE Monitor for DELL PowerEdge R760 Servers

We are using Solarwinds orion for more than 18 years now. All this time we were using HPE servers and the hardware monitoring in HPE servers through ILO monitoring in Orion is a great. But now we are replacing our HPE servers with DELL PowerEdge R760 servers (Total 60 servers) , I am testing a DELL PowerEdge R760 server now ,i spent multiple weeks for fixing the hardware monitoring without any luck , installed different versions of DELL OpneMnage Server Administrator but still no luck . Opened the case with solarwinds support (Case # - 01595184) , They said that Hardware health monitoring for DELL powerEdge R760 is not supported in Orion. Its very critical for us to have this feature since we are buying a large quantity of this Dell severs. Kindly please add this feature.

What would be different from an R740?

@plangois That is a Question for Solarwinds, Documentation team, I think.

Is there a technical documentation, for what to do to get Hardware Health Monitoring a Dell Server ? ( R740 )

All i get to read is "Install the Software of your vendor. And there is a checkbox."

So DELL has OMSA that is Discontinued (Only Secure Update till 27). They say we have to take ISM - Idrac Service Modul instead.

So we installed it, and I still dont get that Checkbox "Hardware Heallh".

So is there some Kind of technical Documentation for it, rather than Forum answers ? In ISM there are some Module that can be activated. Which one does Orion need ?
