monitoring hardware on 8300 units
-
Hello all,
Has anyone been able to monitor the hardware on the 8300 appliances?
I've been unable to set up SMTP alerts using the Insyde IPMI controller. I've also explored SNMP using the IPMI controller, but can not locate an MIB that provides access to the BMC sensors.
I'd like to know if a power supply failed, fan stops spinning, etc.
best,
James

Hi All,
For anyone who comes across this thread, here's what I've tried.
-
Worked with SNMP to no avail. If I had an MIB, I'd reapproach this.
-
Attempted to set up SMTP. The relay host only accepts IPs and not FQDNs. We configured an internal server, but were unable to relay messages off of it successfully. Next steps here would be to find a log to review or a packet capture. For now, I've set this aside.
-
Installed IPMItool on a Debian host and ran this command:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H x.x.x.x -U user -P password sensor list
(Substitute your IPMI IP for x.x.x.x and your IPMI user/password.)
Success... a list of all BMC-supported sensors:
After successfully implementing item 3, we pointed Zabix at the IPMI IP and can now view all the sensors. I'm still testing triggers in Zabix, but it seems to have found a path forward.
I'd love to hear what others are doing.
