It uses the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) software, which must be running on the monitored system. check_openmanage can be used remotely with SNMP or locally with NRPE, check_by_ssh or similar, whichever suits your needs and particular taste. The plugin checks the health of the storage subsystem, power supplies, memory modules, temperature probes etc., and gives an alert if any of the components are faulty or operate outside normal parameters. The plugin can give performance data with the '-p' or '--perfdata' switch. Performance data collected include temperatures, fan speeds and power usage (on servers that support it). Storage components checked: * Controllers * Physical drives * Logical drives * Cache batteries * Connectors (channels) * Enclosures * Enclosure fans * Enclosure power supplies * Enclosure temperature probes * Enclosure management modules (EMMs) Chassis components checked: * Processors * Memory modules * Cooling fans * Temperature probes * Power supplies * Batteries * Voltage probes * Power usage * Chassis intrusion * Removable flash media (SD cards) Other: * ESM Log health * ESM Log content (default disabled) * Alert Log (default disabled, not SNMP) check_openmanage will identify blades and will not report "missing" power supplies, cooling fans etc. on blades. It will also accept that other components are "missing", unless for components that should be present in all servers. For example, all servers should have at least one temperature probe, but not all servers have logical drives (depends on the type and configuration of the controller). This nagios plugin is designed to be used by either NRPE or with SNMP. It is written in perl. In NRPE mode, it uses omreport to display status on various hardware components. In SNMP mode, it checks the same components as with omreport. Output is parsed and reported in a Nagios friendly way.
