pre-configured SNMP OID strings and submit them to HP Insight CMU for display via the GUI. The
pre-configured SNMP OID strings and their corresponding metric name in HP Insight CMU are
in /opt/cmu/etc/cmu_ams_metrics:
Figure 51 cmu_ams_metrics
If you want to configure additional SNMP OID strings for monitoring, you can add them to this file
with their corresponding metric name in HP Insight CMU.
The HP Insight CMU command to gather this data and submit it to CMU is
/opt/cmu/bin/cmu_get_ams_metrics. This command needs a file (-f <filename>)
containing the list of nodes with the HP iLOs to be queried. Or, you can request a query of all the
HP iLOs on all of the nodes in the HP Insight CMU cluster (-a).
Use the -d option on the cmu_get_ams_metrics command to display the data. This option is
useful to confirm that this command is retrieving the correct SNMP data from the given node(s).
Otherwise the default action is to submit the data to HP Insight CMU, and this may not work if the
metrics are not yet configured in HP Insight CMU (see below).
