I would prefer to have some sort of script that parses information on the remote host on HP hardware. I have found a few that use SNMP but I'm not sure how that works with NRPE/NSCA. For Dell hardware I use check_dell.exe from <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.itefix.no/">http://www.itefix.no</a>. Anything similar would be great. </blockquote> 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.
