Monitoring dell server hardware
I want to implement monitoring of iDRAC components(dimms, powersupply, raid.. etc) and show the detatails into grafana. What to use. I was trying to use redfish APIs.
Is that a correct approch ?
What are the secure alternatives ?

We are using SNMP since ages.. today its v3. Self programmed as also dozen of NAGIOS like Plugins exists. Today we use CheckMK.
If you start fresh try RedFish.

saw your question... I know its a very late answer but might help others as well
dell has an "oven ready" pre-built iDRAC redfish telemetry to grafana pack on github .in the dell area..
you can down load & use the free solution here GitHub - dell/iDRAC-Telemetry-Reference-Tools: Reference toolset for PowerEdge telemetry metric collection and integration with analytics and visualization solutions.

Speaking about a Windows OS you can query trough WMI. The SNMP is a optional feature within Windows and needs to be installed trough a powershell one liner, but needs addional configuration which are heavy to script.
We get the CPU, MEM Metrics because our Systems are most likely VMs and i can query the Hyervisor.
About the iDRAC i have checked our CheckMK because by default it recovery a lot i an automaticly manner but there are no CPU or MEM metrics found :(
