Overview

The HP iLO Event Monitor connects to the "Integrated Lights Out" system found on many systems sold by Hewlett Packard. iLO provides hardware-related data about a system, including details about fans, temperatures, and power supplies.

Use Cases

• Monitoring the hardware health status of your Dell servers
• Alerting based on high power consumption
• Notifying about battery status and temperature

Monitoring Options

This event monitor provides the following options:

HP iLO Version

Select the version of iLO on the systems to be monitored. For iLO 2 and iLO 3, the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility (CPQLOCFG.EXE) must be downloaded. HP's utility can be found here. After running the setup the utility will be installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility". Move all of the files in that folder into "C:\Program Files\FrameFlow", then run the event monitor.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if the HP iLO server is unreachable

Use this option to get alerts if the iLO system could not be contacted.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if chassis health status is not OK

Use this option to get alerts about any alarms related to the system chassis.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if chassis power supply health status is not OK

This option will alert you about power supplies and their status.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if fan health status is not OK

Use this option to get alerts related to fans and their speeds.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if temperature probe health status is not OK

Use this option to get alerts about the availability of temperature probes on the system.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if system health status is not OK

Use this option to get alerts about the general health of the system.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if array controller health status is not OK

This option will alert you about array controllers and their status.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if logical drive health status is not OK

Checks the status of all logic drives and alerts the health status of any is not OK.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if disk drive health status is not OK

Checks the status of all physical drives and alerts the health status of any is not OK.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if a temperature probe is greater than its threshold

Use this option to get temperature alerts for critical and non-critical levels as defined by the iLO system settings.

Alert if the temperature of a disk drive is more than the specified thresholds

Checks the temperature of physical disks and alerts if the value exceeds the thresholds that you choose.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if array controller backup power status is not OK

Alerts about backup power status for array controllers.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if the available power for a chassis is less than specified thresholds

Use this option to set alerts about power availability for the chassis.

Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if the average consumed power for a chassis is greater than specified thresholds

This option lets you set thresholds based on power consumption for the chassis.

Alert if a fan's speed is running greater than specified speeds

Checks fan speeds and alerts based on the values you specify. Thresholds are specified as a percentage of maximum fan speed.

Authentication and Security

The account used for authentication must be able to access the iLO interface.
