I'm trying to monitor an iLO with this script:

https://www.monitoringexchange.org/attachment/preview/Check-Plugins/Hardware/Server/HP-%2528Compaq%2529/check_ilo2_health/13-05-17_07-41-53_check_ilo2_health.pl

Everything seems to be OK, but if I put the -l option (enables log check), it only shows the older event of de iLO log, how can I change the script to show only de newer event log?

Thanks in advance.

Miguel

Since you're running VMware ESXi on HP ProLiant server hardware, your best bet is to install the HP CIM agents and utilities on the host to expose more detailed system health parameters to vSphere.

Which server model(s) are you using?

There are three components you need for an HP server running ESXi 5.1:

These get downloaded to a datastore and installed with:

esxcli software install vib /vmfs/volumes/datastore/<packagename>.vib

There's also an HP-specific build of ESXi that has all of this built-in. But the above process can be applied to a standard vanilla ESXi installation.

  • The server model I'm using is: ProLiant BL460c G1: – mvillar Jul 04 '13 at 08:24
  • Yeah, the same thing applies. But since this is a blade server, what specific information are you interested in obtaining? If I were you, I'd be pulling info from the chassis Onboard Administrator. – ewwhite Jul 04 '13 at 08:25
  • Health info like temperatures, fans, power, and the IML log. – mvillar Jul 04 '13 at 09:10
  • For the BL460c there is only the ESXi offline bundle and the utilities bundle, there is no NMI sourcing driver – mvillar Jul 04 '13 at 09:14
  • The packages I linked are all in the HP VMware build. It doesn't matter if the bl460c has it listed on its page or not. Install the versions I linked to. – ewwhite Jul 04 '13 at 12:03
  • Okay, tomorrow I will try it both on a test system. Thanks a lot – mvillar Jul 04 '13 at 14:45
