Monitors a local HPE ProLiant server using hp-health statistics a replacement for 'lm-sensors'.
- A local installation of the "ProLiant Management Command Line Interface Utility (
hpasmcli)" This is usually not part of the standard repos, get it directly from HPE. - password-less sudo access to the used "show" commands (if not running netdata as root)
To allow sudo without password for that specific read-only command execute sudo visudo and add the line:
netdata ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/hpasmcli -s show temp;show fans;show powersupply
The plugin will check this configuration at startup and recommend a propper setting. To avoid cluttering your auth.log with netdata sudo messages, you can exclude these with:
Defaults:netdata !syslog, !pam_session
This module will produce following charts (if data is available):
- Temperature charts for each detected temperature sensor separated by sensor location
- Fan charts for each detected fan speed sensor separated by sensor location
- A fan partner overview listing the amount of fans per partner group (redundant fans in the same partner group can take over in the case of a fan failure)
- A power consumption chart per power supply
- A power supply chart counting the bays in ok condition
This module will warn if:
- any temperature sensor comes close to 5°C of its predifened threshold value
- any fan partner group looses a fan
- a power supply changes to an unhealthy condition
