Re: [Nagios-users] SNMP Trap monitoring for Dell servers

2012-07-19 Thread Sven Dohmen
Hello John,

We are using poweredge servers ranging from the R3x0 series till R8x0 
series. For the equallogic's and blade chassis we have some very nice 
plugins like the one you linked.

The monitoring of the raid sets/disks is only needed for the poweredge 
servers as for the others we dont need the openmanage software anyway.

Currently i am testing a debian server with the openmanage software to see 
how unstable it is but i am stuck at the key retrieval so i cannot say if 
we ever would start using the openmanage anyway.

 Hello Sven
 
 Which Docus did u use?
 
 Which version do you have
 
 Does the snmptt stuff working on a local ( localhost) level?
 
 if you can give me more infos i'm  trying to help you
 
 best regards john

Hello John,

I used 
http://www.whiskey-tango-foxtrott.de/wiki/doku.php?id=linux:debian:snmpd 
as one of the docu's.

Since I am not sure what you mean with the version, i am assuming you are 
talking about the debian machine. That is the last stable release of it. 
This goes for the snmptt and trapd aswell.

Since the last mail i did figure out some stuff. It seems i dont even need 
snmptt to get the traps to work. I started the trapdeamon with the 
following command: snmptrapd -Oa -C -c /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf -Lf 
/tmp/log.log

In the logs i noticed then that the traps where sending there own id 
(1001) along with the rest:

2012-07-17 08:20:44 192.168.103.5(via UDP: 
[192.168.0.5]:32768-[192.168.0.11]) TRAP, SNMP v1, community public
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3183.1.1 Enterprise Specific Trap (1001) 
Uptime: 434 days, 14:21:57.89
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3183.1.1.1 = STRING: 
DELLK..T.S..O05J...ZH6.. !XEN01..

So i opened the snmptrapd.conf and i added the following lines:

traphandle SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3183.1.1.0.1001 
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/handle-dell-openmanage-trap 1001

The script itself just checks the id and then gives nagios the 
notification that in this case its a test trap. 

What still is bothering me though is that there is no way to monitor the 
raid controller or hard disks from the idrac itself. Does anyone perhaps 
have a solution for that without the use of dell openmanage or the 
openmanage essentials software?

Hello Sven

It's  not clear what is working and whats not in your post.


So first off all some questions and instructions and put on all debug logs in 
the snmptt config:


1. Does the trap appear in the unknown log? ( show me the whole trap)
2. does the trap appear in the debug snmptt handler log?
3. check your syslog and your /var/log/messages log
4. Does the check work with the default snmptt handler?
5. why you want to check with an other handler beside the default one?
6. do you work with the script submit check result? to send the trap to nagios?
and if  so does the local check work?

Since the last mail i did figure out some stuff. It seems i dont even need 
snmptt to get the traps to work.

It depends on which options does your script offer.

if you do an test check this howto ( 
http://www.radium-networks.com/blog/nagios-snmp-3069/)  and reconstruct the 
example on your system


best regards john

Hello John,

Sorry if i was unclear but i got the complete monitoring of the traps 
working on the idrac cards. I explained this in the previous mailing what 
i did to fix it. The snmptt handler is completely skipped in my case as i 
let nagios handle them directly after they are recieved by snmptrapd.

The only missing part is are the raid controllers/disks but it seems these 
are not available in the idrac.

I think the way over the bmc ( ipmi )

Would be better fit 

maybe the  idrac has an own bmc and could be queried over ipmi

I figured out the ipmi monitoring aswell but also there is no raid 
monitoring on the dell servers. You can only check if the cable is still 
attached but not if a drive is failing. I know that on the sun servers 
this is possible with ipmi but dell decided to go the other way it seems.

Thanks for the help though.

Hello Sven

Maybe it's a good idea to tell me which hardware you use in an more  exactly way

cause for example  there is an plugin aviable for equallogic arrays  ...: 
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/Dell/Check-the-status-of-Dell-EqualLogic-storage/details

well  .  I can't promise anything but  maybe we could find a solution
