Monitoring DL580 G5 using PRTG

[UHZ]

Hello everybody,

i am trying to monitor a DL580 G5 using PRTG Network Monitor. So far everything is fine. I can monitor the server using SNMP Sensor "HP Proliant System State" and getting status of PSU, temperature etc.

But when it comes to the raid controller (P400) i am getting problems reading raid / drive / volume status. I already have installed WBEM provider (9.5.0.0) and management agent (9.40.12.0).

PRTG support says the required OID / OID branch 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6.2 is missing.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks

Daniel

Hi,

First question, can PRTG Network Monitor show RAID controller information?

Make sure Raid drivers/firmware and Insight Management Agents are up dated.  Use only SNMP and check the status.  If that does not work, post a similar question in PRTG forum.

Hi Suman,
 
yes the sensor shows the disk controller and status "ok". Firmware is up to date.
