SNMP DATA OID MONITORING

Hi

Have V6.10. Wanting to monitor a few items via SNMP
Are already monitoring HP Servers Temperature using SNMP succesfully

Would now like to monitor incoming voltage on a Powerware UPS that supports SNMP
We can monitor the value no problems and it reads it, however what setting should I choose to detect if it falls out of a range to a reference
ie..230V is the nominal input, we want to be alerted if it hits between 5% of that value for example.
We also would like to use HM as the logger for this, however choosing a %range it shows up as Zero in the monitor console.

Can this be done?

Cheers

Sure. You need to setup 2 tests:
- one to check if reply is > than 241
- another test to check if reply is < than 218

We also would like to use HM as the logger for this, however choosing a %range it shows up as Zero in the monitor console

"%range"? There is no such option. Probably you are using "changes by %" option? "0 %" means that value has not changed since last check. When you select "increases by (%)", "decreases by (%)" or "changes by (%)" option, HostMonitor shows the difference (in %) between curent value and previous Reply value.

Thanks for that.

I was wondering if I could use the test parameter "is<>from" but how do you specify that in the list.

I guess what would be good is to have a test that had a tolerance of range such as 5% of a given value and once that was reached it triggered....

Sorry, such option is not available yet

Hi!

Any chance you can give some details how you are monitoring your HP server temperature? I have many HP servers and would also like to do that.

Thanks much.

Hey ya

Sure took me awhile to work out how to get this going.

First you need to ensure you the HP Insight Agents running on the servers you want to monitor.

Then you add a new test in HM and choose SNMP Get

Specify the IP address and choose the OID string as below exactly
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.0.1

This works on a ML350 and ML370 series server running Windows 2003 server.

Hope it works. let me know either way.

Cheers

Hi!

Works very very well! Thank you so much.

Any other nice tests you've discovered for your HP's? We have many of them here as well.

Thanks again!
