Monitoring physically HPProliant servers, snmp

techux

Hi guys.

First, we have NPM.

We are installing some centos, redhat and debian in proliants DL servers gen8 and  gen7..

I have configured net-snmp in the OS and can monitor basic stuff like memory, cpus, disk space...

But I would like to monitor physically the server, like fans, power supply, HDD..

I know there is a hp-snmp-agent for hp and redhat.. but I think this could get in conflict with the net-snmp already installed, right? does this hp-snmp allow me to monitor what I want?

in the other hand, debian 6.0.7 is not supported in the dl160g8 series.

so how could I monitor these servers?

thanks

    We have some of our linux installs working now.

    good to know.

    how did you do that of monitoring fans, cpu, power supply, memory slot? I am not running SAM.

    Without SAM, you would have to use custom pollers. Not as clean but doable. We've been using that method for a few years now.

    As far as whats needed on the linux systems, you need the hp agents installed and don't hold me to this because I just know enough linux to be dangerous. This is what I have in my notes from one of linux builds....Please verify this though. I'm still working on getting all of my linux hardware in there.

    Need the following RPM packages:

    compat-32bit-9-200407011229.x86_64.rpm

    hp-health-8.2.0-283.sles9.x86_64.rpm

    hp-smh-templates-8.2.5-41.sles9.noarch.rpm

    hp-snmp-agents-8.2.0-284.sles9.x86_64.rpm

    hpacucli-8.0-14.noarch.rpm

    hpsmh-7.0.0-24.sles9.x86_64.rpm

    liblcms-32bit-9-200407011229.x86_64.rpm

    • Be sure to pick the right packages for the right version of Linux and its architecture!

    Copy the packages to the /root directory on the server.
