Hello all, we are experiencing telemetry failure as shown in image below. The second image below says that there is a credential issue but I checked and the credentials are fine. I even reinputted the credenetials on Secure Connect Gateway and retested telemetry but no luck. Also, telemetry is failing on servers with iDRAC 7 and 8. I don't think iDRAC version is the cause since servers with iDRAC version 8 have telemetry working fine. Under iDRAC settings -> Network -> services, the configuration is the same for the working and non working servers. Also on iDRAC there is no mention of WSMAN protocol so I couldn't do anything about as suggested by the error. I really doubt that the login credentials are to blame here as I am able to login fine as an admin. Any clues or leads are appreciated, thank you!
After verifying the ports, you may try log in to the SCG virtual appliance CLI via SSH using your root credentials, run a ping test to the target device. Since you the error points to WSMAN, try curl -k -v https://<target_device_IP>:443
Also, can you check if the servers that are having issues, are installed with iDRAC Service Module.

Hello so the resolution for my case appears to be resetting the SCG VM. Also initially I did not have a credential profile assigned to the telemetry collection process but it was only after resetting the SCG VM that telemetry data collection worked across all devices. I appreciate all the help troubleshooting!
Hello, thank you for the response, please see below for requested information:
1) Please see direct messages.
2)
for IP 10.12.14.107, that is PowerEdge R520, with iDRAC 7 version 2.65.65.65
for IP 10.12.14.27 that is PowerEdge R530, with iDRAC 8 version 2.86.86.86
for IP 10.12.14.154 that is NX3230 with iDRAC 8 version 2.83.83.83
I want to note that we have a NX3230 with iDRAC 8 version 2.83.83.83 that had successful (partial) collection of telemetry so I'm not sure if iDRAC version or Server type is the issue.
1) The compatibility matrix shows no issue with my setup
2) I tested the ports using Test-NetConnection -ComputerName "host_name" -Port 443 mentioned in the link and port 135 is open on the target device. Port 22 and 443 are closed according to this command
3) I also tried the curl command you mentioned via command line and the output shows that:
The web server responds correctly (302 redirect to login page) ✓
Also service module is not installed on any of the devices' iDRAC. I tested on another device and it was partially successful for telemetry data collection (also iDRAC8). Appreciate the continued support, will keep trying telemetry data collection on other devices to find a pattern

Hi,
I gave a rought look at the compatibility guide here https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/secure-connect-gateway/scg_5.x_ve_sm/12th-generation-poweredge-servers?guid=guid-5fcf90c1-1bc5-41a1-b331-c10059a01b12&lang=en-us seems that the iDRAC version should be sufficient to get compatible with SCG.
Next is to check if the ports are open for different protocols: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/secure-connect-gateway/scg_5.x_ve_sm/supported-servers?guid=guid-59624dd9-861d-457b-b358-87a9a01f6e6a&lang=en-us
After verifying the ports, you may try log in to the SCG virtual appliance CLI via SSH using your
rootcredentials, run a ping test to the target device. Since you the error points to WSMAN, try curl -k -v https://<target_device_IP>:443DELL-Joey C
