Have you tried using the DELL Server Management Pack which monitors iDrac?

Hello!

We can not collect SNMPv2 traps from DELL iDRACs. We successfully receive traps (SNMPv1 or V2) from other devices, but there seem to be a problem with these ones.

The iDRACs are discovered as SNMPv2 devices and we can see the traps come in with network monitor and that they are in v2 format, so a any collection rule with a blank Object Identifier should catch these traps, but they dont. The discovered community name and the trap community name is also the same. The devices certifications show up as GENERIC.

If I create a collection rule for traps and in the data source replace the dynamic value in the version tag with a hardcoded 1 and send a trap in v1 format from the same iDRAC, the trap is picked up.

Im not sure what to look for next? And how can I lookup which member of the network devices pool that is responsible for each device?

Regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

Hope it helps:

Hi and thanks!

Unfortunately this is not any help, because a rule without the version filter still does not pick up the trap unless its a v1 trap.

Hi!

Yes, Im using their Agent-Free MP also. But it does not exclude the need of defining own rules for monitoring.
