I want to monitor HP server via SNMP. On pooler I installed the plugin pack “HP Proliant”.

I created new host from template “ HW-Server-Hp-Server-SNMP-custom “ and entered monitored iLO’s  ip address and did pooler export.

Now I have This host in monitoring with service “Hardware-Global” that has supposed command line:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_hp_proliant.pl	--plugin=hardware::server::hp::proliant::snmp::plugin	--mode=hardware … etc

but in fact the file /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_hp_proliant.pl does not exist on pooler and service is in state unknown.

 

Why the file /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_hp_proliant.pl was not created by pluginpack installation?

When you export the poller configuration, do you see these log in his /var/log/centreon-gorgone/gorgoned.log?

2023-01-11 12:55:57 - INFO - [action] Copy processing - Received chunk for '/etc/centreon-engine//'

Also, can your poller install the rpm with the following command?

yum install centreon-plugin-Hardware-Servers-Hp-Snmp

Thanks. After running

yum install centreon-plugin-Hardware-Servers-Hp-Snmp

the script is present and  I can run the check now.

Unfortunately with monitoring my new MegaRaid Proliant DL 380  server I have simillar problem as with bothe other HP plugin packs  (xml and restAPI). None of them knows about the LSI MegaRaid controller and none of them does monitor Physical and logical drives status.

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_hp_proliant.pl --plugin=hardware::server::hp::proliant::snmp::plugin --mode=hardware --hostname=10.77.77.83 --snmp-version='2c' --snmp-community='cpublic'  --component='Storage' --verbose --snmp-force-getnext
OK: All 0 components are ok [].

And there is an error “UNKNOWN: SNMP Table Request: problem to get values “ without added option --snmp-force-getnext.

 

Note zero components monitored.

Hi @lhejrovsky,

There should not be zero components found. I think that this range of products (MegaRaid Proliant) may provide hardware information under a different OID than what our plugin can monitor.

I suggest you open a new idea here to help us prioritize the need for this devices range.

EDIT: with all data that could be useful to develop the new plugin: MIB files and full snmpwalk of enterprise branch (`snmpwalk -ObentU -v 2c -c community address .1.3.6.1.4.1 > equipment.snmpwalk`).
