[mrtg] Re: Monitoring Dell servers (TEMP)

[Michael Markstaller]

- Make sure OMSA-agents are installed and community is correct.

Do an snmpwalk first to see which temp-probes are available;
somthing like 
snmpwalk dell-server-name SNMP-RO-COMMUNITY -m ALL .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6

should give (with poweredge-mibs in usr/share/snmp): 
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeReading.1.1 = 340
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeReading.1.2 = 350
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeReading.1.3 = 205
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeReading.1.4 = 225
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeReading.1.5 = 245

and then to see which index is which probe:
snmpwalk dell-server-name SNMP-RO-COMMUNITY -m ALL .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.8
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeLocationName.1.1 = "CPU 1"
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeLocationName.1.2 = "CPU 2"
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeLocationName.1.3 = "Motherboard"
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeLocationName.1.4 = "Backplane Location 1"
enterprises.dell.server3.baseboardGroup.thermalGroup.temperatureProbeTable.temperatureProbeTableEntry.temperatureProbeLocationName.1.5 = "Backplane Location 2"


on my machine temps are in °C * 10 (whatever this should be good for..) so divide them by 10 within mrtg.cfg.

I've also posted a template with amongst other, Dell/compaq-stuff included to automate config-generation some time ago, search archives for my name & template if you want to use it..
