Hi Ken,

I just came across your code. I have nagios server running on Linux and put your code there. My client a Dell 2650 running Win2k3 enterprise SNMP enabled, OpenManage Server running and everything. When I inquire running your code I get:
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10893.1.1.130.1.1.5.1

Any ideas?

If you're looking for some of the scripts that I mentioned in the original article, you may want to check out NagiosExchange. They have tons of stuff, including an entire section dell hardware monitoring.

Hi, I would like to use the check_dell.pl script, but unfortunately, I cannot find it. The link above (in the post) points to source forge – which is inaccessible to non-members of the project.

Could you kindly mail it to me, or point me to an alternative resource from where I could get it?

Thanks,

Oscar

Electro,

I’m running successfully running this on new (last 6 months) Dell PowerEdge 1850 w/ OM version 4.5 without any problems. It has been well over a year since I’ve looked at this code. So its all a little rusty for me, but has been fine across my 18 different servers.

Can you get anything off the Dell MIB variables when querying them? Let me ask a dumb questions, if you are running Windows on the box do you have SNMP service started and configured to allow requests from your management/nagios station. Do you have the firewall running and have the right ports open?

Let me know how it goes.

I’m having an issues running the code above. For some reason the version of dell openmanage software 4.x doesnt seem to like the snmp oid .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10893.1.1.130.1.1.1

Has this been updated to reflect the newer version of dell openmanage?

Thanks!

Alex,
The plugin is not on sourceforge, but my site. It is listed above at the very bottom of the post, but I’ll list it here as well. Download the code check_win_perc. I’ll also email the code as well.

I hope it works for you.

Thank you very much.

I’m glad that you found what I did helpful. In both cases (with the Dell plugins and the Nagiosgraph) it has been a long time since I’ve even looked at the code. It just works for us. Hopefully it will work as reliably for you. If you make any modifications please let me know.
