we had some trouble with our HP ILO SNMP checks and so we decided to move to redfish instead. That was quiet good, the latency is much better and we had less “stale service moments”.
If we compare both plugins there are some differences (of course) but some infomration is missing with we think are important / userfull.
The NICs are not that nice named and there’s no performance data.
REDFISH:
That is completely normal as the Redfish shows directly the installed network hardware and no information from any OS. The SNMP checks in comparison showed data provided by some OS daemon. Host OS or OS from the management controller.
If you have 6 network ports inside your system then also the SNMP data should show 6 interfaces with up or down if it is the real hardware data.
There you normally have only the Hardware → Firmware → Redfish table with all the installed firmware revisions in your system.
All the other data you see in your case is something from “older” times.
Again here the HW/SW inventory with SNMP shows most times data also fetched from the host OS.
