Check MK 2.0.0 (CRE) Monitoring Dell systems via SNMP

We are currently rebuilding our monitoring system on a new server which is Debian 10.8 with a fresh install of Checkmk 2.0.0 CRE edition.

I have imported all of our hosts and then added in the SNMP details for the physical servers we have. When running tests on the host SNMP comes back as all fine

When i do a search for services though nothing comes up. a full search just returns this

When this was done on my old system (1.4.0P34) it lists all of the dell services(Disks, memory, interfaces etc). I had this issue on 1.5.0 which is the reason i never upgraded. Now on version 2.0.0 i must be missing something or something was changed to not allow this.

Setting for the host if needed


Any advice?

Are you using checks on the box or on the idrac via the mgmt interface ?

I noticed that most of my snmp check on host stopped working too. I deleted them because they were kinda related to omsa checks that aren’t v2 ready and also they are duplicates of the mgmt idrac ones. (even if some are reporting differently)

The machine you try to reach with SNMP is a Windows host.
It is better to use the iDRAC interface for the SNMP monitoring of the hardware status.
Can you check with your iDRAC IP if there some checks shown?

i’ll give it ago and report back, Thanks

This is working, thanks. one issue i have is a few older servers which don’t have a working idrac interface. is there anyway to do this via windows with the omsa snmp which was used back in version 1.4?

If the management agents are configured correctly it should also work over Windows as before.
You can check on the command line if you do a “cmk --debug -vvI hostname” on one of the hosts if it tries to discover the Dell SNMP checks.
