Dell OpenManage Plug-in Version 1.0 for Nagios Core User’s Guide

About Monitoring Component Health of Dell Devices

This is periodic poll based health monitoring of the Dell servers’ component level health status.

Once the discovery utility is run with the relevant option, the corresponding services are created. These services run periodically and update the overall health of the components. The component’s status and information are displayed in the Nagios Core user interface.

The format of the component information in the Status Information column is <Attribute>=<Value>[, <Attribute>=<Value>].

For example: Status=CRITICAL, FQDD=Fan.Embedded.1, State=Enabled
