dell-omreport-parser

What is it?

This tool uses the Dell omreport tool to output an XML, format it to a JSON, and send it to an API server to gather inventory and trigger alerts.

Check the API section for info on the API/Web server.

Compatability

This has been tested with and written for OMSA Version 8.3.0

The temperature and power supply scripts have issues collecting data for OMSA Version 9.2.0. Workaround in the WORKAROUNDS section

To find the version of OMSA running on your server (for Linux hosts at least), run /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/omreport about

How To

Clone repo in /opt/
Move omsa-scripts/config.example.py to omsa-scripts/config.py
Edit omsa-scripts/config.py
- host is the name of the server
- api_server is the OMSA-Web server. See the API section for more info.
- verify_ssl determines whether or not requests will verify the TLS certificate when posting metrics
Run install.sh as root

If you want to clone the repo elsewhere, you'll need to modify /etc/cron.d/omsa-metrics.

API

Metrics are sent to an API server that you define.

The API server can be found in this repo
