Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the server fan status for HP and Dell computers. For Dell computers, this script raises an event if the fan revolutions per minute (RPM) exceeds the thresholds you set, or if the fan RPM falls outside the system’s configured range. For HP computers, this script raises an event if the fan RPM exceeds the system-configured operating threshold by a percentage you set.
For information about fan object properties, see Section 5.1.1, Fan Properties.
If you are monitoring Dell equipment, this Knowledge Script requires OMSA components on the computer you are monitoring. You can install these components using the srvadmin-all meta package.
If you are monitoring HP equipment, this Knowledge Script requires the HP Array Configuration Utility CLI for Linux and HP System Health Application and Command Line Utilities for Linux installed on the computer you are monitoring.
Any fan on an HP or Dell computer running Linux
The default interval for this script is Every 5 minutes.
Set the following parameters as needed:

How to Set It |
|---|---|
|
Event Settings |
|
|
Raise event if fan status is not OK? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the fan status is other than OK. The default is yes. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
HP specific settings |
|
|
Raise event if fan speed exceeds threshold in percent? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the fan speed exceeds the percentage threshold value you set. The default is yes. |
|
Threshold value |
Specify the event threshold as a percent, from 1 to 100, of the acceptable fan speed. AppManager calculates the percent using a range of 0 to the maximum as specified by the hardware vendor. The default is 20. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Dell specific settings |
|
|
Raise event if fan speed exceeds threshold in RPM? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the fan speed exceeds the RPM threshold value you set. The default is yes. |
|
Threshold value (RPM) |
Specify the event threshold value as the maximum fan speed in RPM.The default is 2000. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Raise event if fan speed is out of system configured range? |
|
|
Minimum warning threshold - Maximum warning threshold range? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the fan speed lies outside the warning threshold range defined by the minimum and maximum warning threshold values. The default is no. |
|
Minimum failure threshold - Maximum failure threshold range? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the fan speed lies outside the failure threshold range defined by the minimum and maximum failure threshold values. The default is no. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the warning or failure event. The default is 5. |
|
Raise event if AppManager fails to get metrics? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if AppManager cannot collect any information about the hardware fans. The default is yes. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Event severity when job fails |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event when this job fails. The default is 5. |
|
Data Collection |
|
|
Collect data for fan speed in percent or RPM? |
Set to Yes to collect data for fan speed. For Dell computers, fan speed is measured in RPM. For HP computers, fan speed is measured in percentage of the maximum fan speed. By default, the data is not collected. |
