Enable Hardware Health monitoring for HP/H3C/ Aruba/ Riverbed/Palo Altos

thanks for the note Deltona​

I think SolarWinds needs to have somewhere mentioned that which type hardware is working and for which it doesnt...

Hardware Health works with our 800 and 3200 series PA's running 9.0.x in Orion Platform 2019.4

On a side note, I find it disappointing that the Palo Alto icon/logo works in the Manage Nodes page and everywhere else, except in the Hardware Details resource.

We need this for Palo Alto & Fortigate. I'm suprised its not enabled by defualt considering both vendors are fairly large players in the network space.

Truly without Hardware Monitoring of devices NMS seems less proactive.

We got Hardware Health details working for Aruba switches running WC 16.x while testing NPM 12.5 RC2.

thanks for the feedback.. yes we do have Airwave also in place for some of our customers but in certain cases we wanted to avoid multiple sources which again makes it complex to get everything back to one dashboard and reporting...

For other OEMs, i am surviving using UnDP and trap method....

I uploaded Aruba 5412 and 5406 walks months ago, year ago now actually, saw nothing come from it...  I wouldn't hold your breath.  Aruba has their Airwave Management Product, if you are going all Aruba, I would look at that as your best bet....

Hardware heath monitoring is such a basic feature, it should be the bread and butter of any Network Management software. I would like to help to get support added, Im happy to do some SNMP walks and upload if you can provide a current link.

I currently have 54 5412zl V2 switches unmonitored - we have another 24 incoming next month. There is an existing feature request for these switches, it is now 2 yrs old :(

I have 32 2540 switches unmonitored - these will be replaced in 2yrs time.

We will have 2 x 8320 (Aruba CX OS) and 42 3810M's which we will running in stacked mode incoming this summer as part of the wireless refresh project. Support for these and stacking support is crucial for us.

After the addition of these switches I will be looking at approx. 32% of my network being unmonitored so this is a massive area of concern for us, we have been using SW NCM for a few years, but recently invested in IPAM, NTA and NPM so I obviously want to help here so we can leverage our investment to use it as intended rather than have sections of the network dark to us.

Add SD-WAN vendors like Cisco, Citrix & others.

SDWAN looks like the future of WAN technologies with most vendors using purpose-built technologies to deliver WAN solutions. At this stage the OEM's may not support monitoring of the purpose-built technology, but a good start point would be to monitor the hardware health.
