HOWTO: Monitoring HP Insight Manager using OpenNMS

If you using HP Servers with installed HP Insight Manager it could be very helpful to know if your Servers health is fine. The HP Insight Manager uses MIBs from Compaq, so you´ll find the necessary MIBS for example on Byte Spheres oidview

Prerequisites

To make this work you need installed HP Insight Manager on your Server. Your OpenNMS is up and running. You have configured SNMP on your HP Server and OpenNMS correctly. This configuration uses the feature to detecting and monitoring SNMP-Tables. Detecting SNMP tables with capsd is since OpenNMS 1.6.7 possible and monitoring SNMP tables with pollerd is possible since 1.6.3. If you have OpenNMS lower 1.6.7 you can assign the service instead of capsd with provisioning or a LoopPlugin.

This monitor supports the following SNMP OIDS from CPQIDA-MIB and CPQHLTH-MIB:

 cpqDaSpareStatus             .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.4.1.1.3
 cpqDaLogDrvStatus            .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1.4
 cpqDaPhyDrvStatus            .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6

 cpqHeThermalTempStatus       .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.3.0
 cpqHeThermalSystemFanStatus  .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.4.0
 cpqHeThermalCpuFanStatus     .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.5.0
 cpqHeFltTolPowerSupplyStatus .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.9.3.1.5
 cpqHeResMemModuleCondition   .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.14.11.1.5

Detecting with capsd

First of all you need a new service in your capsd-configuration. We use the generic SNMP-Monitor which comes with OpenNMS. For detecting the tables, I test an "ok" or "good" state.

Monitoring all this services

After this you need to create a monitor in your polling-configuration. We monitor the state normal. The following states are possible:
