DELL PowerEdge R740 by HTTP

Overview

For Zabbix version: 6.2 and higher
This is a template for monitoring DELL PowerEdge R740 servers with iDRAC 8/9 firmware 4.32 and later with Redfish API enabled via Zabbix HTTP agent that works without any external scripts.

Setup

See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.

1. Enable Redfish API in Dell iDRAC interface of your server.

2. Create a user for monitoring with read-only permissions in Dell iDRAC interface.

3. Create a host for Dell server with iDRAC IP as Zabbix agent interface.

4. Link the template to the host.

5. Customize values of {$API.URL}, {$API.USER}, {$API.PASSWORD} macros.

Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.

Macros used

Name	Description	Default
{$API.PASSWORD}	The Dell iDRAC user password.	`<Put your password here>`
{$API.URL}	The Dell iDRAC Redfish API URL in the format `<scheme>://<host>:<port>`.	`<Put your URL here>`
{$API.USER}	The Dell iDRAC username.	`<Put your username here>`
{$IFCONTROL}	Link status trigger will be fired only for interfaces that have the context macro equaled 1.	`1`
