HP Health SNMP Configuration

This page includes notes and references for setting up an HP Proliant server to be monitored by CSCF's nagios system via hp-health SNMP.

Ubuntu Configuration

1. Install SNMP Daemon

   sudo apt-get install snmpd

2. Install the CSCF SNMP configuration files

   sudo wget https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/infrastructure/setups/services/snmp/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -O /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
   sudo wget https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/infrastructure/setups/services/snmp/etc/default/snmpd -O /etc/default/snmpd

3. Add HP's repository

   sudo echo "deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp `lsb_release -s -c`/current non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hp.list

4. Add HP's GPG public keys

   sudo curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey1024.pub | apt-key add -
   sudo curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048.pub | apt-key add -
   sudo curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048_key1.pub | apt-key add -

5. Make apt aware of our changes

   sudo apt-get update

6. Install hp-health and SNMP agents

   sudo apt-get install hp-health hp-snmp-agents

7. Add HP Health capability to SNMP:

   echo "# HP Health Monitoring"  >> /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf && echo "dlmod cmaX /usr/lib/libcmaX64.so"  >> /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

8. Restart SNMP

   sudo service snmpd restart

Nagios Configuration

The check_hpasm plugin is installed on nagios.cscf and can be located at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm. To have a host monitored for HP Health, add the "HP Health" service in E&I.

To check your setup configuration, you can run the following on nagios.cscf (replacing HOSTNAME with the machine's hostname or IP address):

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_hpasm --hostname HOSTNAME --community UofW --protocol 1
