Monitor SSD life remaining HPE Smart array \ Smart Storage Administrator

Hi all,

Does anybody know how to monitor SSD life remaining on a HPE server within check mk?
You can see the status within “Smart Storage Administrator” software.

Kind regards, Jeroen.

You could try it with the HPSA extensions: Checkmk Exchange

It needs ssacli, hpssacli or hpacucli installed on the monitored host.

Hey,

just tried the plugin with 2.3.0p6cre and it works.

But i had to add an additional path for the powershell script.

Function Get-Storage-Executable-Path () {
    $programPaths = (
+        'C:\Program Files\Smart Storage Administrator\ssacli\bin\ssacli.exe', 
    	'C:\Program Files\HP\HPSSACLI\bin\hpssacli.exe',

PS: didn’t know where else to put it :stuck_out_tongue:

Or you add your iLO interface to the monitoring and query the status there.
Looks like this then


It is from an iDRAC but with the Redfish extension it is the same on HPE.

That only works for internal server disks, not for disks in an external chassis connected with an HBA it seems.

No this should / must also work for connected shelfs. If the disk is visible inside the Redfish data then also the data for the SSD life should be available.
