Post by jriggin »

Does anyone have any information on monitoring temperatures on PE2950 servers?

I think that can be done if you install the Dell Open Manage software, but I'm not sure, it's been a while since I did anything with that software.

Search about on here for PowerEdge, it can be done.

Try the attached, it's what I'm using for my 1850, 1950 and 2950s.
(hope it works, I just exported the graph and dependencies.)

This surely requires the Dell SW to be installed?

Oh damn, sorry, forgot to mention that. Yes, we install the Dell OpenManage software on all servers, which provides many of these counters and guages.

Thanks for the file. How do you actually go about creating this stuff from scratch?

Btw, I'm trying to monitor thermals on a Quad Xeon, however it only shows P1 and P2. How can I have it monitor multiple cores?

I have a 2950 and this template doesn't seem to work for me. I have open manage installed and it is working.

My graphs come out with the values being NaN. I am very new to cacti and using snmp in general. Could someone post some information on how I can debug this problem?

Thanks.

Note: All my other graphs of this particular machine work fine. This is the first "custom" graph I have tried to get working.
