Yes i know it was only a test if IPv6 will work with the special agent. As i have no “real” IPv6 on these devices active.
Hi
Is there a document to start with? I have installed and replicated the MKP in the RAW version. And now . . .? - I do not see the forrest for the threes.
Best,
Rene
You should have a new entry in the “Other integrations” section. there you can configure the special agent. Inside “Other integrations” search for Redfish.
Thank you for bringing some more light into this. I’m afraid, it’s not yet showing up there. I have disabled and re-enabled the package. What can I do more?
Please change the package from the old legacy HPE iLO Redfish to the generic Redfish one.

Good question - it is an automation problem.
What happens if you try on the command line a cmk --debug -vvI hostname to discover the services?
With your first screenshot it also see that this is a distributed environment (two different site names) and there you need to distribute the installed mkps first to all sites.
Thanks, that’s one for the records. It dropped me another error like “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘redfish.rest.v1’”
Then, I poked around with a few other of your tipps like:
installing ‘urllib3<2’ redfish
That led me into some “botocore 1.20.102 requires urllib3” errors which pointed me into other tipps like “as SITE user pip3 install ‘urllib3<2’ redfish (–upgrade)” and THAT was the trick.
Thanks Andreas for your valuable know how and efforts.
best,
rene
In the description of the package is the command you need to do 
Also on the download page^^
Hello,
we are testing the new integration of the Redfish API Agent in Check_MK 2.3 beta. After activating the package in our test enviroment we are able to call the special agent manually and get a good result:
cd local/share/check_mk/agents/special/
./agent_redfish -u <username> -s <passwort> <ilohostname>
<<<check_mk:sep(32)>>>
Version: 2.0
AgentOS: iLO 5 - X.XX
<<<redfish_manager:sep(0)>>>
[{"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#Manager.Manager", "@od ..
[many lines more ...]
But we cannot discover any service:
cmk --debug –vvI <ilohostname>
Discovering services and host labels on: ilohostname
ilohostname:

What may be the problem here? We are testing Check_MK 2.3.0b4.cee on SLES15SP5.
Thanks
Miwu
This is a beta bug and should be fixed inside b5 - in b3 and b4 no external special agent with passwords are working. Only the directly included ones.

Thank you for this information. We will wait for the next beta.
Same problem in beta 5 …
Yes as there is no new version of Redfish MKP in beta 5 at the moment.
I tested yesterday what needs to be done and found another bug
In 1 or 2 days you can expect a new MKP to be available from github. This is than hopefully also inside beta 6.

Now a version for beta 5 is available.
Pay attention - there is a “bug” in beta 5 that forces you to activate changes after creation of a special agent rule before you can discover services on the host object assigned to this rule.
Andreas, thank you.
With mkp version 2.3.35 and 2.3.0b5 the bug is fixed in our enviroment. Everything is working fine now
