HP Hardware monitor by Powershell script

Hi All,

there is a lot of challenge, when we are doing HP hardware monitoring by Solarwinds, many time we are not getting alert and it leads the problem and question for solarwinds which are not able to monitor the h/w component

So i have come in one next steps for monitoring of HP hardware by Powershell script.

I installed the below HPILO CMD let into one DEV machine.

Download and install HPiLOCmdlets-x64.msi

Cmdlet Get-HPiLOHealthSummary

Post installation i ran the below PS script to get the out put of HP hardware with status.

--------------------

$ErrorActionPreference= 'silentlycontinue'

$Username="Administrator"

$Password="XYZ"

$path = "C:\HPiLOCmdlets\Samples\test.csv"

$csv = Import-Csv $path

$data=foreach ($thisILO in $csv){

Get-HPiLOHealthSummary -server $thisILO.ILOIPv4Address -username $Username -password $Password|Select-Object @{N="ILOIPv4Address";E={$thisILO.ILOIPv4Address}},`

@{N="BATTERY_STATUS";E={$_.BATTERY_STATUS}},@{N="BIOS_HARDWARE_STATUS";E={$_.BIOS_HARDWARE_STATUS}},@{N="FANS_STATUS";E={$_.FANS.STATUS[0]}},@{N="FANS_REDUNDANCY";E={$_.FANS.REDUNDANCY[1]}},`

@{N="MEMORY_STATUS";E={$_.MEMORY_STATUS}},@{N="NETWORK_STATUS";E={$_.NETWORK_STATUS}},@{N="POWER_SUPPLIES_STATUS";E={$_.POWER_SUPPLIES.STATUS[0]}},@{N="POWER_SUPPLIES_REDUNDANCY";E={$_.POWER_SUPPLIES.REDUNDANCY[1]}},`

@{N="PROCESSOR_STATUS";E={$_.PROCESSOR_STATUS}},@{N="STORAGE_STATUS";E={$_.STORAGE_STATUS}},@{N="TEMPERATURE_STATUS";E={$_.TEMPERATURE_STATUS}},@{N="HOSTNAME";E={$thisILO.HostName}},`

@{N="CLUSTERNAME";E={$thisILO.Cluster}},@{N="DATACENTERNAME";E={$thisILO.Datacenter}}

}

$data|export-csv -NoTypeInformation -path "C:\HPiLOCmdlets\Samples\result.csv"

$Hostname = "nodename"

$Date = Get-Date

$Email_To="your email address"

$Email_From = "Email address"

$Prioritystate="Low"

$Email_Header = ""

$SMTPSRV = "IP address" #"SMTP address"

$Email_Subject = "HPE ILO Status as of $Date"

$Email_Body = ""

$Email_Body += $Email_Header

$Email_Footer = "`n `nBest regards, `n$Hostname"

$header = @"

However I need your help to create a SAM template, so by SAM template PS script will run and check the h/w status and return result with error if found any failed in h/w.

Provide your suggestion, So we can achieve this.

If you are not getting SAM hardware health from HP servers, my first guess would be because your agent is not on a current enough version. Update the HP SIM agent and you'll find you get the data. See the requirements here: Asset inventory and hardware health monitoring requirements in SAM - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support . An easy way to check this if this is a single server is to look at the asset inventory. The requirement is that this agent is installed, but you can then pull the data via WMI.

HP servers with HP System Insight Manager (SIM) 6.2 or later

We are getting the h/w details of physical server in console, but sometime when we check in ILO of hp where issue is there, but same is not reflecting in solarwinds console.

recent scenario - we have battery issue on physical box (checked by ILO ) but same is not reflecting into Solarwinds console and it lead the question on alerting system.

that's why i want to create a SAM template with Powershell query that query run against the physical node to check the h/w status, if found the abnormal then template will generate a alert.

hope it will clear my requirement

Hi Krishna,

You need to get your script to Write-Host the results using the "Statistic:" and (optional) "Message:" output for the SAM template to pick up on them.

The script will have to be alter to run on the host in question, use Execution Mode: Remote Node to run the script locally on the server in question and then return only one Statistic (and Message) per result.

You can have up to ten of these, returned by each script. Any more will be ignored by the SAM PowerShell component.

Write-Host "Message.<unique id>: $message"

Write-Host "Statistic.<unique id>: $statistic"

I am just arranging a blade to play with and I will have a crack at formatting an example for you.

A good place to start reading up: The Basics of PowerShell (part 3)

Hello Yaquaholic,

thanks for input.

Please can you test the below unique PS command on the target Hp node by SAM template to get the status in $message.

>Get-HPiLOHealthSummary -server 10.x.x.x -username ADMINISTRATOR -password ADMIINISTRATOR|Select-Object @{N="ILOIPv4Address";E={$thisILO.ILOIPv4Address}},` @{N="BATTERY_STATUS";E={$_.BATTERY_STATUS}}

The platform team have just given me a test system, so I will have a crack at this today for you.

The following code should work, as a PowerShell monitor, returning a 1 for OK status and a zero for anything else. Each value is returned with a unique Statistic (and optional Message) name, of which there are under 10. Create an ILO monitoring template, add a Windows PowerShell Monitor to it and add the script body, and the template can then be assigned to the ILO card

Don't forget to set the Execution Mode to Local Host, which will be your Orion server, which will need the HP iLO Cmdlets installed.

Even if the scripts doesn't suit your needs, hopefully you know understand how Orion is expecting the results.

I've created a Feature Request to request to be able to do it using the SNMP agent. Please vote so it gets the PM' attention

Do you have powershell script for FAN and Temperature monitoring ?
