Choosing the services to monitor for a Dell EMC device
By default, all the available services are created for a Dell EMC device during discovery as supported by the protocol you have selected. If
you wish to monitor only specic services for a discovered Dell EMC device while ignoring those services you do not wish to monitor, you
can do so by navigating to the<NAGIOS_HOME>/dell/scripts/dell_device_service_template.cfg le and commenting those services you
wish to ignore.
For example:
The default services as listed in the dell_device_services_template.cfg le for Dell EMC Servers discovered using WSMan
protocol are as follows:
• Dell EMC Server SD Card Status
• Dell EMC Server FC NIC Status
If you do not wish to monitor the Dell EMC Server FC NIC Status service, simply comment the starting of the line using # as
follows:
#Dell EMC Server FC NIC Status
This service will not be created for the discovered Dell EMC Server in the Nagios Core console.
