4 * Fixed an SNMP bug where the plugin didn't handle OID indexes that
5 were not sequential. Thanks to Gianluca Varenni for reporting.
6 * Fixed an SNMP bug when checking old hardware such as the PE 2650 and
7 PE 750. The controller id for physical drives were collected and
8 displayed incorrectly. This release uses an additional OID to fetch
9 this info, which would otherwise be unavailable. Thanks to Gianluca
10 Varenni for reporting this bug.
11 * Should use %snmp_probestatus, not %snmp_status when checking the
12 status of voltage probes. Thanks to Ken McKinlay for a patch.
13 * Fix when identifying blades via SNMP with very old OMSA
14 versions. Patch from Ken McKinlay.
15 * Better way of finding the ID of physical drives via SNMP
21 * Added support for storport driver version for controllers, only
22 applicable on servers running Windows. A new blacklisting keyword
23 for suppressing storport driver messages was added.
24 * The "all" keyword in blacklisting is now case insensitive.
25 * More fine-grained reporting in the rare case where a controller
26 battery fails during learning and charging states.
27 * New improved way of reporting perl warnings during execution of the
34 * Fix for path to omreport on Linux with OMSA 6.2.0
35 * A couple of other small fixes
41 * Fix for undefined device name for logical drives (thanks to Pontus
43 * Fixed a bug in the PNP4Nagios template, that prevented the template
44 from working with PNP4Nagios 0.6. Thanks to the PNP4Nagios team for
51 * CPU type, family etc. are now reported in case of a CPU failure (and
53 * The debug output now reports Openmanage version and plugin version
59 * New option '-a' or '--all' turns on checking of everything
60 * The manual page (POD info) is removed from the script and is now in
61 a separate file, to make check_openmanage fully ePN compatible
62 * ePN is no longer disabled by default, check_openmanage no longer has
63 an opinion on whether it should run under ePN or not
64 * The '-m' or '--man' option is no longer available
65 * The option '-v' or '--verbose' is renamed to '-d' or '--debug',
66 which makes more sense wrt. its usage
67 * The '-g' or '--global' option is removed. Checking the global health
68 status is now default if applicable
69 * Checking intrusion detection is now turned on by default
70 * The obsolete option '--snmp' is removed
71 * The option '--state' now has a shorter equivalent '-s'
72 * The basename stuff and options '--only-critical' and
73 '--only-warning' are now replaced by an option '--only'
74 * If plugin is run by Nagios, redirect stderr to stdout
75 * Added option '--omreport', that lets the user specify the full path
76 to the omreport binary
77 * Added non-8bit-legacy default search paths for omreport.exe for
79 * Minor changes to the plugin output, for consistency
80 * New blacklisting keyword 'bat_charge' disables warning messages
81 related to controller cache battery charging. Thanks to Robert
82 Heinzmann for a patch.
83 * For blacklisting, the component ID kan now be "ALL", in which all
84 components of that type is blacklisted.
85 * Man page is moved to manual section 8
91 * Fixed a bug that could cause errors and weird results when checking
92 cooling devices (fans) via SNMP. Thanks to Ken McKinlay for spotting
93 this bug and reporting it.
98 * For failed physical drives, check_openmanage will now output the
99 drive's vendor, model and size in GB or TB.
104 * The -s|--snmp option was redundant and no longer does anything. SNMP
105 is triggered automatically if the -H|--hostname option is
106 present. The -s|--snmp option is kept for compatibility, but has no
112 * Added support for performance data (temperatures) from attached
113 storage enclosures such as the MD1000
118 * Fixed a regression in the --htmlinfo option when it is not supplied
124 * New option --htmlinfo adds clickable HTML links in the plugin's
130 * Fixed a regression bug in CPU and power supply reporting that only
131 affects verbose output
132 * If blacklisting is used, the global health check (via the --global
133 option) is now negated. Checking the global health doesn't make
134 sense when one or more components is blacklisted. Thanks to Rene
135 Beaulieu for reporting this bug
136 * The PNP4Nagios template is now included in the tarball and zip
142 * Improved memory error reporting, when using omreport
143 * Collect performance data from pwrmonitoring (amperage probes) that
144 were previously ignored when using omreport
149 * Improved memory error reporting, when using SNMP
150 * Other small ehnancements
155 * The plugin is now compatible with the Nagios embedded Perl
156 interpreter (ePN) in theory. However, the plugin will not not use
157 ePN by default. We don't want any "accidents".
158 * License is now GPLv3, previously only specified as "GPL"
159 * New options --only-critical and --only-warning. With these options
160 the plugin will only print critical or warning alerts, respectively.
161 * Bugfixes and speed enhancements in the storage section, when
162 checking enclosure components via omreport
163 * The --okinfo option is now less verbose and more to the point
164 * Lots of code refactoring for readability, maintainability and
170 * Fixed a bug in the storage section, when checking controllers. This
171 is an obscure bug that only manifests itself in the odd case where a
172 server has multiple controllers, and one of the controllers are
173 missing some of the OIDs, in which case these OIDs will be missing
174 for the other controllers as well. The change is minor and only
175 includes using get_table() instead of get_entries() to collect the
176 SNMP result. Thanks to Stephan Bovet for reporting this bug.
181 * The --perfdata option can now optionally take an argument
182 "multiline", which makes the plugin produce multiline performance
183 data output in a Nagios 3.x way. Not really needed, but the plugin
185 * Added comment within the 10 first lines to disable the nagios
186 embedded perl (ePN) interpreter by default for Nagios 3.x
187 * Improvements in the performance data output. Units are now included
192 * Added --global option, which turns on checking of everything. If
193 used with SNMP, the global system health status is also probed, to
194 protect the user against bugs in the plugin. If used with omreport,
195 the overall chassis health is used.
196 * Support for SNMP version 3
197 * New check added: esmhealth. This checks the overall health of the
198 ESM log, i.e. the fill grade. More than 80% means a warning message
199 * Fixed alert log reporting to use the same format as for the ESM log
200 * Output messages are now sorted by severity
201 * Minor changes in how out-of-date controller firmware/driver is
203 * Code refactoring and cleanup
208 * Use "omreport about" to collect OMSA version. Slightly faster than
209 "omreport system version". This should give a small speedup in
210 certain configurations
211 * Fixed typo in output when a logical drive is rebuilding. Thanks to
212 Andreas Olsson for reporting
213 * Improved reporting of ESM log content
214 * Added omreport.sh as alternate omreport path
215 * Lots of other small fixes and enhancements
217 Plus: A few changes to make the plugin work with old PowerEdge models
218 (e.g. 2550, 2450) and/or old OMSA versions (e.g. version 4.5):
220 * Use the chassisModelName OID to determine if SNMP works (instead of
222 * No longer require a response when checking baseboard type via
223 SNMP. If there is no response, we assume that we're not dealing with
226 Thanks to Christian McHugh for help with testing and debugging this
232 * Use 'omreport system operatingsystem' to collect OS info, instead of
233 'omreport system' version which is incredibly slow. This should speed
234 things up in certain configurations.
235 * A few speedups, don't collect information that isn't needed
241 * New option --linebreak to specify the separator between line in case
243 * Added support for 64bit Windows. Thanks to Patrick Hemmen for a patch
244 * [Patrick Hemmen] Added install.bat for Windows installation
245 * [Patrick Hemmen] Improvements on install.sh. Will now install in
246 /usr/lib64 for x86_64
247 * RPMs are now architecture dependent, because of different libdir
252 * New option -o|--ok-info to display extra information when everything
253 is ok. The plugin can now display storage firmware and driver info,
254 DRAC and BMC firmware, and OMSA version
255 * Support for setting custom minimum temperature thresholds via the
256 -c|--critical and -w|--warning options
257 * Better and more detailed temperature error reporting
258 * Bugfix in the amperage report (including performance data). The
259 plugin now takes into account the correct unit and measurement for
260 amperage probes (other than watts)
261 * New option --port lets the user specify the remote SNMP port number
266 * Regression fix: Use the older Processor Device SNMP OIDs for older
267 PowerEdge models, that don't have the new Processor Device Status
268 OIDs. Thanks to Nicole Hähnel for reporting this bug.
269 * Default output (when there are no alerts) now shows RAC firmware,
270 BMC firmware, info about controllers and enclosures (firmware,
276 * Regression fix: Ignore unoccupied CPU slots with SNMP probing. This
277 fixes a bug introduced in versjon 3.2.1, which would output
278 something like this if one or more CPU slots were empty: CPU 1 needs
284 * Use Processor Device Status Table OIDs instead of Processor Device
285 Table when checking CPUs via SNMP
286 * Bugfix: don't report throttled CPUs as warnings when checking via
287 SNMP (same as for checking locally)
292 * New options --state and --short-state for displaying service state
294 * Lots of small fixes for code readability and maintainability
299 * Support for running natively on Windows (using omreport.exe). Thanks
300 to Peter Jestico for a patch.
301 * Support for compiled Windows version, i.e. check_openmanage.exe is
302 now a legal script name.
303 * Exit with error if script basename is illegal/unknown
304 * Various small fixes
309 * Use of alternate basenames for checking only one class of components
310 * Added support for checking the ESM log via SNMP
311 * Code refactoring for robustness and maintainability
312 * Numerous small fixes and enhancements
313 * Added install script in distribution tarball
318 * The script no longer aborts if it can't get system information via
319 SNMP. Give a warning instead, as this is not a critical error
320 * Increased robustness when checking controllers
325 * Man page fix in the 'check' section. Thanks to Ansgar Dahlen for
327 * Allow invalid command error from 'omreport chassis pwrmonitoring'
328 * Various small fixes
333 * Use unique IDs for storage components with regard to blacklisting,
334 which means that the blacklisting API has changed
335 * Added checks for storage components: connectors (channels),
336 enclosures, enclosure fans, enclosure power supplies, enclosure
337 temperature probes and enclosure management modules (EMMs)
338 * Improved verbose output
339 * New option -t|--timeout for setting the plugin timeout
340 * New option -w|--warning for setting custom temperature warning
342 * New option -c|--critical for setting custom temperature critical
344 * Option --check can no longer be specified in its short form (-c)
345 * Code cleanup and improvements
350 * The workaround for the OMSA bug introduced in OMSA 5.5.0 didn't take
351 multiple controllers into account. This has been fixed.
356 * New option -i|--info prefixes all alerts with the service tag
357 * New option -e|--extinfo gives and extra line of output in case of an
358 alert (model and service tag)
359 * New option --postmsg lets the user specify a post message string,
360 with info such as model, service tag etc.
361 * Options -b|--blacklist and -c|--check can now be specified multiple
362 times (actually quite useful)
367 * Slightly improved output for alerts on logical drives (vdisks)
368 * Now shows a rebuilding physical disk as a warning, as this is
369 usually accompanied by a degraded vdisk. Previous versions didn't
370 show this at all (omreport classifies it as "OK").
375 * Slightly improved output for charging controller batteries
380 * Bugfix for reporting physical drives with predictive failure (both
386 * Fix bug in option handling (ambiguous options)
387 * Slightly improved output if checking the storage subsystem is turned
389 * Don't complain if there are no logical drives. This is OK. Thanks to
390 Jamie Henderson for reporting this
395 * Fix bug in SNMP status level table
400 * Added workaround for a BUG introduced in OpenManage 5.5.0. OM
401 sometimes adds a newline in the controller driver version name,
402 which leads to problems parsing the output. Thanks to Hiren Patel
403 for bringing this to my attention.
408 * (snmp) Improved handling of cases where OM is not working properly
413 * Fixed issue where controller number for physical disks can't be
414 established via SNMP (now identifies as controller no. -1)
419 * Correctly identifies and reports error condition in which OpenManage
420 has stopped working (it happens)
426 * Same options for checking, blacklisting etc. supported with SNMP
427 * Same output with SNMP as with NRPE
432 * Collects performance data if the option '-p' or '--perfdata' is
434 * New blacklisting directives ctrl_fw and ctrl_driver
435 added. Suppresses the "special" warning messages concerning outdated
436 controller firmware and driver. Useful if you can't or won't
442 * Fix getting system model and serial number for newer blades
447 * Three new checks added:
448 - System battery probes (typical CMOS battery). Newer poweredge
450 - Power consumption monitoring (if the server supports it)
451 - ESM log, with same functionality as the alert log check. Disabled
457 * Internal refactoring: use ssv-formatted output from openmanage,
458 resulting in slightly faster execution and increased robustness.
459 * If /usr/bin/omreport doesn't exist, try
460 /opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/bin/omreport.
461 * Allow for no instrumented/redundant power supplies. Needed on
462 low-end poweredge models and blades.
467 * Openmanage reports non-critical warning about throttled CPUs on new
468 hardware models. Most og us use ondemand CPU frequency scaling (with
469 throttled CPUs as a result). This specific non-critical warning (CPU
470 Throttled) is ignored from now on.
471 * Remove superfluous Celcius sign when reporting temperatures.
476 * Accommodate blade systems with no fans or powersupplies, i.e. accept
477 errors from omreport when trying to check fans or powersupplies on
479 * Accommodate newer hardware with slightly different omreport
480 options. Use the newer options if they exist. Not really necessary
481 yet, but deprecated options may be removed in future versions of
487 * When everything is OK, check_openmanage now outputs the same info as
488 Gerhard Lausser's excellent check_hpasm plugin does for HP servers:
490 OK - System: 'poweredge 2850', S/N: 'XXXXXXX', ROM: 'A06
491 10/03/2006', hardware working fine, 2 logical drives, 4 physical
