Nagios iDRAC SNMP plugin 2.1 do not appear to work correctly on R930.
Hello,
I am attempting to get the dell_check_idrac_snmp.pl Nagios check working with my R930 server. The server is running the latest BIOS and iDRAC firmware. I have no problems with my R730 and C6320 servers. But when I connect to my R930 I get:
ERROR: SNMP : No response from remote host
The only way I've found to solve this problem is to go into the perl code and increase the timeout settings. I changed:
our $plugin_timeout = 75;
And then change "-timeout" in snmp_initialize to "60".
It seems that on the R9xx class servers, it can take the iDRAC longer to respond. Perhaps there should be a method to allow the user to specify the timeout at the command line for check scripts.
Running /usr/bin/time on the various checks I see the following consistently exceeding the default "3" for SNMP:
ghs: 40 seconds
mem: 41 seconds
vlt: 8 seconds
ps: 4 seconds
with ghs and mem being the worst offenders, probably because my R930 has all 96 memory sticks in it and it takes a while to collect that data from the iDRAC.

Hi,
We do indeed provide an option to change the common parameters using the command line. During discovery, depending on the protocol that you have selected i.e. WS-MAN or SNMP, you can set values for the protocol options in the parameter file ".dell_device_comm_params.cfg".
In your case, please do the following:
HTH,
