Dell IDRAC 7 not getting all info

General

@brononius,

CMK 1.6.0.p1 has several idrac snmp checks shipped by default, and one of them is for raid monitoring.
Can’t you use them ?

SNMP Checks shipped with CMK in 1.6 version :

dell_idrac_disks
dell_idrac_fans
dell_idrac_power
dell_idrac_raid
dell_idrac_virtdisks

So, can you do a snmpwalk towards your idrac server for these OID ?

.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.1
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.2
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.38

And tell me what you get when you do a snmpwalk for this OID : .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0
If it starts with .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5 you should get CMK to monitor you RAID in your iDrac and avoid to use “thirdparty” plugins.

Cheers,

I can’t recall that I’ve done thirparty plugins with my old installation. So I hope I can keep it this way. :wink:

Seems to ‘work’:

snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY audrey .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.1.1 = INTEGER: 1

snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY audrey .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.2
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.2.1 = STRING: “PERC H710 Mini (Embedded)”

snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY audrey .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.38
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.1.1.38.1 = INTEGER: 3

snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY audrey .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.5

EDIT:
But not starting with 1.3… ?

Try to set-up your host as snmp agent and with the snmp community and try to do the inventory. You shouldn’t have any problems.

When I add the host, he just sees ‘normal info’, and the idrac interface. Nothing extra like the network interfaces, raid, disks, temperature …

TL;DR

Do you have something like (I’m assuming snmpd.conf):

smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1

The bridge isn’t going to work without that.

I’m talking about reading the “host” data via snmpd running on the host using the bridge to Dell stuff (that is, no direct iDrac query from CheckMK, just snmp).

I don’t. It’s idrac, not ‘linux’.
I’m trying to check this direclty through IDRAC connection. So not by host/bridge.
My hypervisor is proxmox, and I don’t want to touch that part much, since each update can reset this snmp-config again.

This was working before, so I’m trying to get it to work as before. :blush:
Makes more sense to me that the RAID config is checked, there were it’s build/used…
