HP servers monitoring via iLO

[mahdiafa]

After import template into Zabbix i receive only 6 items - most of the Applications is empty. Why? How to fix that? Zabbix 3.
All other "tests" - ok.
Please help.

Hi All
I also have same problem on zabbix 3 installed on Debian 8

What Generation of HP Server are you using? What ILO Version is installed?

What Generation of HP Server are you using? What ILO Version is installed?

I have DL380 G5 with iLO version 2.27 and DL380 G9 with iLO version 2.40

[michael.weber]

Hint for G8 and later:

https://share.zabbix.com/cat-server-hardware/hp/hp-server-snmp-autodiscovery-template

use the SNMP Template. More robust and no need to Setup external script. Configure SNMP Community and set snmp passthrough to "no" on ILO. so the internal SNMP Agent will answer the request.
Since G8 there is a internal SNMP Server that can answer the request.

For the older HP Server. please be sure that the "Timeout" value in the zabbix Agent config is higher than the Default 3 sek. The IPMI script requires ~10 seks. so please adjust this. and come back

Hey guys, great thread. Just having one issue with the implementation of this so far. What if this works...

5. Check FreeIPMI to success connect with iLO (replace IP, login and password to yours):

# /usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -D LAN2_0 -h 192.168.0.1 -u monitor -p P@$$w0rd -l USER -W discretereading --no-header-output --quiet-cache --sdr-cache-recreate --comma-separated-output --entity-sensor-names

We should get something like this output:

0,System Chassis 1 UID Light,OEM Reserved,N/A,N/A,'OEM Event = 0000h'
1,System Chassis 2 Health LED,OEM Reserved,N/A,N/A,'OEM Event = 0000h'
2,Processor Module VRM 1,Power Unit,N/A,N/A,'Device Inserted/Device Present'
3,Power Supply Power Supply 1,Power Supply,N/A,N/A,'Presence detected'

But this doesn't return any data... what could that be an issue with?

6. Check discovery script to success parsing IPMI data (replace IP to yours):

# /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/ilo_discovery.pl 192.168.0.1 sensor temp numeric

We should get something like this output:

{
        "data":[
                {
                        "{#CLASS}":"sensor",
                        "{#KEY}":"Air Inlet 01-Inlet Ambient",
                        "{#SECTION}":"Temperature",
                        "{#TYPE}":"numeric",
                        "{#MEASURE}":"C"},
                {
                        "{#CLASS}":"sensor",
                        "{#KEY}":"Processor 02-CPU",
                        "{#SECTION}":"Temperature",
                        "{#TYPE}":"numeric",
                        "{#MEASURE}":"C"},

Thanks so much!

Same problem - iLO2 on a DL360 G6, Zabbix 3 and Debian 7.11

[akincer]

I've noticed the problem as well on an iLo 3. I've verified adding IPMI values one at a time manually with built-in parsing works as expected, but this isn't convenient to do on multiple servers.

There are some logic/parsing errors at work it would seem. If I sort them out, I'll upload the fixed code.

I proceeded with setup anyway and it does work, I'm able to pull all the iLO data I'd expect from my hosts in Zabbix, so I guess it's cool?

[akincer]

If it's working for you as expected, then sure. There are definite logic errors that cause it to crash and burn for data acquisition for an iLo 3 on a DL380 G7.

Like I said -- manually adding a single key at a time using the built-in IPMI data acquisition works fine, so the problem is definitely in the perl scripts. For the number of servers I have to add, this is way too much work to do manually.

[akincer]

Here's an immediate example of the disconnect.

The discovery item

<key>ilo_discovery.pl[{$ILO},{$ILO_USER},{$ILO_PASS},sensor,&quot;disk&quot;,discrete]</key>

Returns this kind of data for a key value:

"{#KEY}":"Disk 5 Cntlr 2 Bay 5",

But the actual IPMI command in ipmi_proliant.pl returns this corresponding data:

46 | Cntlr 2 Bay 5   | Drive Slot   | N/A        | N/A   | 'OK'

Ignoring the vertical pipe delimiter that is different from the code, notice the key value doesn't actually contain "Disk 5". This will cause the data acquisition to fail.

ilo_discovery.pl.

Hello I am fairly new to Perl and I do not know where to place this "no if ($] >= 5.01, 'warnings' => 'experimental' in the ilo_discovery.pl file, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Monitoring ILOM. ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: internal error

Hello,

I tried to conf monitoring ILOM in Zabbix 3.4

OS

Linux zabbixapp01 4.1.12-103.3.8.el7uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Mon Aug 21 17:27:54 PDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed freeipmi-1.5.7 and tried test connection

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -D LAN2_0 -h 192.168.0.21 -u username -p password -l USER -W discretereading --no-header-output --quiet-cache --sdr-cache-recreate --comma-separated-output --entity-sensor-names
returned error

ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: internal error

How solve this problem?

What ILO version are you using?
i recommend to reset the ilo via webinterface and give it a other try.

Syntax error:Unterminated quoted string

Hello all
Tell me, can anyone come across. With a local account, this scheme works fine. But it is necessary to specify there domain record, through which it is also possible to go to ILO, Perl gives an error:

sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

{

        "data":[

]}

what could be the problem? or information about the domain as it should be in the script shove or perl it to specify?

Hi folks.

Tested on HP Proliant 380 Gen9 + Zabbix 3.0 (Centos7 x86_64)
Zabbix template IPMI DL380 Gen9 (Gen5,7,8) as per link below.

Steps to install.

1. HP iLO web interface: Administration -> User Administration
- create user Zabbix with Administrator privileges
- Access Settings:
IPMI/DCMI over LAN Access -> Enable
IPMI/DCMI over LAN Port -> 623

2. Zabbix web interface: Administration-> General -> Value mapping.
Create value map as follows:

1) Server HP Fan
0 ⇒ Failure
1 ⇒ OK

2) Server HP Health
0 ⇒ OK
1 ⇒ Error




3. Configuration -> Templates
- import template HP_DL380_g9.xml.

4. Zabbix server. Install the following apps if not installed.
- freeipmi
- openipmi
IMPORTANT: openipmi should be with openssl support.
Centos7 openipmi already precompiled with openssl.

5. vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
StartIPMIPollers=5
service zabbix-server restart

6. Zabbix web interface. Configuration -> hosts
- Create host -> interface IPMI
- type IP of iLO interface.
- add template above
- IPMI:
Authentication algorithm: RMCP+
Privilege level: Admin
- type Username/password (Zabbix/Password).
