Dell Server Monitor via iDRAC & SNMP

Project Notes

This script is based on the Dell OpenManage Plug-in for Nagios XI, link is https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Server-Hardware/Dell/Dell-OpenManage-Plug-2Din-for-Nagios-XI/details.

I get some snmp mibs information from the offical script , and write this simple script. This script just support 12th and later generations of PowerEdge Servers. Moniotor information include cpu,memory,physical disk, virtual disk, temperature, involtage and disk controller, and can output nagios perfdate.

You can use it by "./check_dell_server_idrac.py -H <ipaddr> -C <snmpcommunity>", if your need more detail information, please with "--detail", or more with "--date", it can output nagios perfdate.

This script is compatible with dell R720 and R920 server,.

I just learn python few months, so this scripts is very simple, and must have many bug. For example, the scripts doesn't have snmp timeout or error escape.
