Dell OpenManage and Orion

cayzac

Can Orion monitor SNMP information that are available on Dell PowerEdge servers? Currently we have Dell's OpenManage that comes with the Dell servers. I'd like to just use Orion but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can always download an evaluation copy and make sure the application meets your needs.

That's what it's there for.

No, we alreayd own Orion. I use it everyday. I'm just wondering if it has the ability to use the Dell MIBs to monitor things such as CPU Temp., etc. Sorry if I didn't explain myself too well. Thanks for any help.

Orion was designed mainly for network devices with server support added about a year ago.
As such it is designed to poll only 3 types of MIBs. Node, Volume and Interface.
So you are limited to the following - CPU, memory, disk & interface utilization. You require another product such as Engineers Edition to monitor custom MIBs such as CPU temp. etc.

has there been any change to this as Solarwinds now supports other MIB's? We also have Openmanage on our servers but would like to use Solarwinds to report on SNMP events such as raid failure?

Solarwinds Orion v8 which is presently in beta has custom MIB support. I have it running now and am monitoring my Dell PowerEdge server's temperature, RAID Controller, fan, power supply, voltage and memory status. So hang in there, it's comming.

So is there a way for this to work in version 9.1?

What is it you are wanting to know exactly. This thread is four years old and a lot has changed since then. If the device responds to SNMP requests then Orion can manage it.

slateROK

yea probably should have startred a new thread. I am wanting to use the dell open manager mibs and receive the snmp info in orion 9.1

If you know the OID you want to monitor (for example, by copying it from the Dell site), you can use it with UnDP. Just paste it into the OID field. You don't have to wait for us to add the latest version of that mib.

maybe this thread will help with those...
