The server I need to monitor is ThinkSystem SR658, and I have noticed an issue. May I ask if it sometimes displays and sometimes it doesn't? What is the reason for this?
Hi @onlineyh
If you see N/A intermittently then you are probably experiencing timeouts when scraping the data, in which case there will be a "hole" in your time series without data. The timeouts can happen in two places, either from Prometheus or from the iDRAC exporter itself.
Depending on the machine and how many metrics you scrape via the iDRAC exporter, it can take up to a few minutes to scrape all of it. If the iDRAC exporter experiences timeouts during calls to Redfish, then you should be able to see it in the logs. The timeout limit can be increased in the configuration file.
The timeout can also be in Prometheus (the scrape_timeout parameter). You can check the metric scrape_duration_seconds to historically see if some of the calls to the iDRAC exporter has timed out (when the metric equals scrape_timeout).
According to your prompt, refer to my previous configuration of SNMP. After adding the following image, it will be normal. thanks
May I ask again if the issue shown in the picture below is caused by the absence of system activity events on my server
Yes, I believe that page is blank unless there is an active warning or error on the system.
Thank you very much！
