Hi,

I tried several scripts based on SNMP, but some of them are not very 
accurate/efficient (ie, status remains OK even if you remove a power 
supply or a fan, or even if the server does not respond to SNMP at all 
!). So the best rule if you use any SNMP-based script is to make some 
tests in your real environment before using it :-)

I choosed one, called "GWFL plugins 2.1" (this one also includes tests 
for other things than hp). It works fine on all my servers (ML350, 370, 
DL360, DL380 all generations). It queries the Insight Agents on the 
Proliant server using SNMP. This is completely independant from 
NRPE/NSCA. You just have to configure SNMP service on your server 
(basically, check the "community string", and check if there are 
restrictions on IP addresses allowed). Results are accurate and I would 
recommend it.

I also use a script called "check_insight_log.sh". You run it on your 
Nagios server, and it queries the Insight Log of your Proliant server 
via SNMP. It's useful to see if new things happen in this log, such as 
POST errors, ASR, blue screens, messages about RAID status, etc...

I would also recommand "check_ilo2_health.pl" already mentioned by 
Christopher, even if  I didn't have time to experiment it thoroughly.

All these available on NagiosExchange.

Hope this helps. Kind regards
