Install SNMP services to monitor PowerEdge servers

NOTE To receive SNMP alerts from devices that are discovered through the iDRAC access using Host operating system feature, you must install SNMP services on the Managed Node and also set the Management Server IP address as the trap destination in the SNMP Services.

To install SNMP services on the Managed Node, perform the following actions:

  1. Click Server Manager > Roles and Features > Features.
  2. Install SNMP Services.
  3. From the list of available services, right-click SNMP Services and select Properties.
  4. In the SNMP Services Properties (Local Computer) window, click the Traps tab.
  5. Set a Community string in the Community name box, and then enter the Management Server IP address in the Trap Destinations box.
  6. Click OK.
The SNMP traps for the node that is discovered through iSM using the iDRAC access using Host operating system (Experimental) method are received. The Severity levels of discovered devices indicates the health of the PowerEdge Servers on the network. It includes monitoring health of modular, monolithic systems, and supported Dell Precision Racks and their components at regular intervals.

Because the system components monitored by the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature, which is license-free, and the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature are not the same, it is possible that the overall server health that is shown through license-free (OMSA) and licensed (iDRAC WS-Man, iDRAC access using Host operating system, or iSM–WMI) methods could be different. When you observe such issues, analyze the specific component status to resolve specific issues in the system component to bring the overall health of the server to the OK state.
