Site24x7 has to provide the plugins or scripts to monitor HP hardware.

I agree, HP servers are very Common, like iDrac it would be no more then logic to have HP ilo support out of the box. We are currently evaluating site24x7 and this and this is a major issue we encounter. Custom monitoring can be done but is not very easy and straightforward. Most compting snmp monitoring solutions support and discover ilo out of the box or support importing MIB files. 

Kind regards, 

We used 24x7 MSP and this became a problem as we managed multiple HPE hypervisors. We need unified out-of-box monitoring. It makes no sense to invest in a paid solution and still have to invest our time developing plugins for such a well-known platform.

Hi Giovani,

Please find attached plugin scripts to monitor the performance of HP server hardware, battery, and fan. 

Plugin Configuration:

Configure the HP server hostname, SNMP versions and read-only community string.

Note: This plugin has been tested with HP iLO servers, with SNMP versions 1 and 2c in Ubuntu. 

Performance metrics: 

Battery plugin:

• Thermal condition
• Degraded action
• Temperature status
• System status
• Fanstatus

Fan plugin:

• Fan index
• Fan locale
• Fan type, speed, and condition
• Redundant partner, hot plugged, and location 

Let us know if this helps. Please refer our documentation for further queries, if any.

Happy Monitoring!

Anita

It's a good start but it is missing one of the most occuring errors: Disk failures.. 

Still would be great if it can be standard like the idrac plugin. We have got it running with a nagios plugin right now and i have managed to do it with a powershell script. Powershell requires HP powershell addins on a windows server but seems to work great. I will post the powershell here maybe sombody has use for it. 

Kind Regards,

Can this monitor Virtual Connect Flex modules and individual Blades in a c7000 chasis?

Hi Aohare,

The above plugin scripts does not include monitoring Virtual Connect Flex modules and individual Blades. But you can monitor it by creating new plugins with their respective OIDS.

Copy any HP hardware monitoring plugin to a new plugin, and replace the yellow highlighted keys with the OIDs you want to monitor. 

### OIDS for Getting Battery Details
OIDS = {'thermal' : ['cpqHeThermal']}

### OID Attributes
hardware = {'thermal' : ['cpqHeThermalCondition','cpqHeThermalDegradedAction','cpqHeThermalTempStatus','cpqHeThermalSystemFanStatus' ,'cpqHeThermalCpuFanStatus']}

### Output Keys and their units
names = {'thermal' : ['condition','degradedaction','tempstatus','systemstatus','fanstatus']}

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Hi, 

Could we have a script for iLO in Windows please? 

Python can be installed to support that script.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use the python plugin script in your Windows server to monitor HP iLO in Windows. Please read our documentation for step-by-step instructions.

Let us know for questions, if any, in the below thread.
