Dell PowerEdge Data Queries [v1.1 2007-12-17]

BSOD2600 · Post by **BSOD2600** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 6:08 pm

I've created a set of data queries for Dell PowerEdge servers. Since it's a data query, it's generic enough and should work for any Dell server running OpenMangement. The graphs it creates are for each item (like the standard Traffic graphs). There are numerous multi-graph templates out there for PowerEdge's where you can combine several voltages / fans / temperatures being monitored.

Additionally, if you want Cacti to show the textual status for the various fields like the screenshot below, you must do a few things. My PowerEdge 840 sadly doesn't have much to monitor.

1) Copy the following MIB files to your primary mib folder. On Windows this would be C:\Net-SNMP\share\snmp\mibs\. The MIBs:

10892.mib - (from dell's openmangement cd or install folders)
dcs3fru.mib - (from dell's openmangement cd or install folders)
dcstorag.mib - (from dell's openmangement cd or install folders)
RFC1158
RFC1212

2) Modify your Net-SNMP snmp.conf and add: mibs +MIB-Dell-10892 on a new line.

Changelog:
-1.1
Updated the poweredge temperature graph template due to a cacti import bug
Exported with cacti 0.8.7a

-1.0
Initial release
Exported with cacti 0.8.6j

Hi - would like to use this - would it be possible for you to post the MIBS as well, as I'm habing difficulty finding these.

Thanks

As I originally stated, those MIB files are from dell's openmangement cd or install folders. Did you search for them?

Yes, but I couldnt seem to locate them - perhaps it was the wrong CD. Are these MIBS essential for the templates to work (looks like they are for descriptions etc) ?

Thanks

No. cacti does not explicitally require MIB files for its functionality.
