Viewing Overall Health
Before you monitor the health of the discovered Dell devices in your data center environment, ensure that the discovered
devices are reachable.
To view the overall health of Dell devices:
1. In Nagios Core user interface, under Current Status, select Services.
2. Select the associated service to view the overall health status.
Health polling of servers is done through iDRAC with LC and the corresponding objects are shown in their respective health
service with proper severity health color.
Monitor Component Health of Dell Devices
You can monitor the health of individual components in the Dell servers.
About Monitoring Component Health of Dell Devices
This is periodic poll based health monitoring of the Dell servers’ component level health status.
Once the discovery utility is run with the relevant option, the corresponding services are created. These services run periodically
and update the overall health of the components. The component’s status and information are displayed in the Nagios Core user
interface.
The format of the component information in the Status Information column is <Attribute>=<Value>[,
<Attribute>=<Value>].
For example: Status=CRITICAL, FQDD=Fan.Embedded.1, State=Enabled
