Monitor Temperature and Physical Disk Status of Servers

Hi! Can anyone assist me on how am I going to search for mib file/oid of a device in case I can't find it using the Mib Walk Tool from Solarwinds? I need to monitor temperature status of cisco routers and servers and physical disk status of servers.

Sure, sorry about taking so long --

You will need to download Dell's OpenManage Managed Node software package. This is required so the Dell server can send specific SNMP information to Orion. Without this package, you can't find these OIDs. Also, once you install the package, there are several documents that list over OIDs. These below are the ones I frequently use. If you need more, I can post more. If you don't find the link, I'll try to dig it up and post it.

I have arrayDiskState as 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.4.1.4.x
where x is the array such as 1, 2, 3, etc.

coolingDeviceReading as 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.12.1.6.1.x
where x is the cooling device such as 1, 2, 3, etc.

temperatureProbeReading as 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6
this is returned in celsius*10. If you want fahrenheit, you will need to build a transform

like this--

Use formula - CtoF({temperatureProbeReading}/10)

Let me know if this helps.

I am able to monitor physical disk status and temperature status of my Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers. If you have the same type, just reply and I will walk you through how I did it.

Hi there

I am interested how you did the Dell 2950's. Is it via the Dell DRAC information as I know it monitors those items. - Disks, temp etc...

I would like to be able to poll these.

Thanks

Ken

Right now, I am monitoring the following:

Physical Disk State of each of my 6 SAS disks
Fan speed of each of my cooling fans
Status of each of my cooling fans
Temperature Probe reading

All I did was enable Windows SNMP on my Dell 2950 and install the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node. It's a free download from Dell. Once those two are installed, you can be able to pull a lot of Dell related information. Plus the OpenManage package gives you a list of all OIDs.

i can't seem to find this for windows on the Dell site. I am trying to monitor the same things you are monitoring

Hello. Could you please help me out on the monitoring of the physical disk status? All of our servers are Dell PowerEdge 2950 and our requirement is to monitor the physical disk status itself. Thanks in advance

Can someone please help me monitor these details for a server that has ESXi installed on it. If this still isnt possible can you tell us if you are working on supporting this and if so when you will support this!

you have to create an own Universal Device Poller...

Try the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.20.130.4.1.4

Possible states:

0: Unknown

1: Ready

2: Failed

3: Online

4: Offline

6: Degraded

7: Recovering

11: Removed

15: Resynching

24: Rebuild

25: No Media - CD-ROM

26: Formatting

28: Diagnosting

34: Predictive failure

35: Initializing

39: Foreign

40: Clear

Try this and give feedback...

You hit this very well. Thanks to this information. This is a valid physical disk status OID but some of the Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers with installed Dell OpenManage Program still doesn't recognize it. Just a quick question though, how did you obtain the said OID?
