I’ve traced this down to the 6 non-dell certified drives in the server, and I can indeed see within OMSA that the only 6 warnings all state “Controller event log: PD 04(e0x20/s4) is not a certified drive: Controller 0 (PERC 6/i Integrated)”.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> So far, so good. Reading through the documentation I can see the Check_Openmanage includes a blacklisting option specifically for this event “pdisk_cert - Suppress warning message about non-certified physical disk” but no matter what I try, I can’t seem to get Check_Openmanage to ignore these problems. An example of the command I’m running on the command line is:<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> check_openmanage.exe -s -a -b pdisk_cert=all<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Which returns:<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> WARNING: Alert log content: 0 critical, 6 non-critical, 36 ok<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Now I’m assuming the problem here is being caused by the Alert Log generating the errors, and not the physical disk directly causing the errors, which is why blacklisting the certificate problem on the physical disk isn’t doing me any good.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Which leads me onto my question – is there anything I can do to ignore these errors (and thus stop Nagios from complaining) apart from excluding the alert log when I do my checks?<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Many thanks.<o:p></o:p> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
