27check_openmanage is a plugin for Nagios which checks the hardware
28health of Dell PowerEdge and some PowerVault servers. It uses the Dell
29OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) software, which must be running
30on the monitored system. check_openmanage can be used remotely with
31SNMP or locally with NRPE, check_by_ssh or similar, whichever suits
32your needs and particular taste. The plugin checks the health of the
33storage subsystem, power supplies, memory modules, temperature probes
34etc., and gives an alert if any of the components are faulty or
35operate outside normal parameters.
36
37The plugin can give performance data with the '-p' or '--perfdata'
38switch. Performance data collected include temperatures, fan speeds
39and power usage (on servers that support it).

41Storage components checked:
42
43* Controllers
44* Physical drives
45* Logical drives
46* Cache batteries
47* Connectors (channels)
48* Enclosures
49* Enclosure fans
50* Enclosure power supplies
51* Enclosure temperature probes
52* Enclosure management modules (EMMs)
53
54Chassis components checked:
55
56* Processors
57* Memory modules
58* Cooling fans
59* Temperature probes
60* Power supplies
61* Batteries
62* Voltage probes
63* Power usage
64* Chassis intrusion
1ea107b7 65* Removable flash media (SD cards)
4ddcc6c2 66* Sane and not empty service tag (serial number)
4078196b 67
68Other:
69
70* ESM Log health
71* ESM Log content (default disabled)
72* Alert Log (default disabled, not SNMP)
73
74check_openmanage will identify blades and will not report "missing"
75power supplies, cooling fans etc. on blades. It will also accept that
76other components are "missing", unless for components that should be
77present in all servers. For example, all servers should have at least
78one temperature probe, but not all servers have logical drives
79(depends on the type and configuration of the controller).
80
81This nagios plugin is designed to be used by either NRPE or with
82SNMP. It is written in perl. In NRPE mode, it uses omreport to display
83status on various hardware components. In SNMP mode, it checks the
84same components as with omreport. Output is parsed and reported in a
85Nagios friendly way.
