Monitoring CPU temperature on HP DL360p Gen8 / DL360 Gen9 running ESXi 6.0

[AdamStadnick]

Hello everyone. I have a mixed DL360p/DL360 (gen 8 / gen 9) cluster that I want to set up SNMP monitoring on. From my reading it appears that I need to use OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.8.1.4.0.1 but when I do an snmpwalk or use any other utility I don't see that one, nor do I see another one that has board or CPU temperature.

I found a few posts that say I need the HP Insight management agent installed, but I haven't been able to find it and I don't know if I can install it on ESXi 6.0.

Right now I'm focused on the gen8 monitoring but if there's anything special for the gen9s I would appreciate that info as well as that's the next project.

Thanks!

I have made a breakthrough! Apparently with ESXi you have to use the iLO address and snmpwalk from there. Looks like it's working.
