Dell Poweredge Temperature Templates

Hi All,

Below are some temperature templates for Dell poweredge servers. It works on most servers using the latest openmanage installation.

Cheers

these are great - i don't suppose you have the same sort of template available for fans do you?

thanks

You'll have to be careful with these as the OID's in Dell servers change depending on the server type/spec etc.

For example, an OID in one PE server that references a CPU temp might reference the backplane temp in another.

I had started to put together an snmp index for Dell Temps... but I've hit a snag..

Attached are "inprogress" results (be warned!)

They simply take an SNMP Index result, and use the name as provided by the name OID. But unfortunately.. it hits a snag when reading the CPU minimum temps.

Dell have decided not to give out a value for CPU Minimum values.. so when I walk the tree I get:

Funny you should be working on Dell templates -- I just started on some this morning

.

Look in OpenManager in the temperatures section. Is the CPU missing any threshhold min/max values? If so, thats why they're not present via SNMP.

new job... new toys... same old tools...

Yeah.. Openmanage lists them as n/a... but the real question is how can we get cacti to take this into account?

I've noticed that too now. Well, my snmp data query has all the thresholds, but of course many of them are not present for some devices. Actually, all I notice in my cacti log is a warning about snmp being invalid, NOT cacti getting an snmp timeout.

Have you tried increasing the timeouts for that device? Don't forget about the ones in php.ini too.

I don't think there really is any way for cacti to take this lack of data into account...easily.

One way would be to have an "exception" list per DS.. so that you could - by default - treat all normal DSs as normal, but for cases where you want to ignore certain DSs, you could "blacklist" those OIDs.. maybe.. Not sure how that would work if the indexes shifted..

Tried increasing the timeout to 2000, but still no difference. I'm now experimenting with yours...
