Plugin for HP Proliant Hardware Health Monitoring

[joe.stringfellow at liverpool.com]

Hi Rainer,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have the CD's here somewhere for 
Insight Manager and will have a look to find the MIBS for the particular 
hardware.  (never thought to look on the CD's). Downloading an SNMP 
browser from the internet should be easy enough.
When I manage to find some free time I'll investigate further and let the 
list know how I got on.

Once again, thanks for your input.

Joe

Well, I wrote something like this some years ago, mainly to check fans 
and temperature.
I posted it to the mailing-list and I uploaded the plugins to sourceforge.
That was in January 2005. They are in the contrib directory in the 
nagiosplugins source distribution.
You should get hold of an InsightManager CD and copy the MIBs to the 
directory where your SNMP-client stores MIBs.
Then you can use a SNMP-browser (like mbrowse on Unix-systems) to access 
the MIBs and get an idea of what you should be looking at.

Please note that these plugins are very crude - there's probably a more 
elegant way to access all these MIBs and automate some of the hardcoded 
stuff in there...


cheers,
Rainer
