Prerequisites​

SNMP Configuration​

To use this pack, the SNMP service must be properly configured on your device.

Network flow​

The target equipment must be reachable from the Centreon Poller on the UDP/161 SNMP port.

Setup​

  1. Install the Centreon package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Dell OME–Modular SNMP resources:
yum install centreon-plugin-Hardware-Servers-Dell-Omem-Snmp
  1. On the Centreon Web interface, install the Dell OME–Modular SNMP Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connector Manager page.

Configuration​

Host​

  • Log into Centreon and add a new Host through Configuration > Hosts
  • Fill the Name, Alias & IP Address / DNS fields according to your Dell OME–Modular SNMP server settings
  • Select the HW-Server-Dell-OMEM-SNMP-custom template to apply to the Host

How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?​

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon Poller CLI using the centreon-engine user account and test the Plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_dell_omem_snmp.pl \
--plugin=hardware::server::dell::omem::snmp::plugin \
--mode=hardware \
--hostname='10.0.0.1' \
--snmp-version='2c' \
--snmp-community='my-snmp-community' \
--verbose

The expected command output is shown below:

OK: All 15 components are ok [1/1 chassis, 7/7 health, 6/6 psus, 1/1 temperatures]. | '1#hardware.chassis.power.watt'=2227W;;;; 'chassis#hardware.temperature.celsius'=21C;;;; 'hardware.chassis.count'=1;;;; 'hardware.health.count'=7;;;; 'hardware.psu.count'=6;;;; 'hardware.temperature.count'=1;;;;
