Cosa controlla DumbMonit

A server's own hardware, read from its management controller (BMC): fans, temperatures against their own thresholds, power supplies and their redundancy, drives, memory, processors and the event log. Redfish is the HTTPS interface the DMTF standardised for management controllers, and every current one speaks it: Supermicro, Dell iDRAC, HPE iLO, Lenovo XClarity Controller, ASRock Rack, OpenBMC. It is the right way to watch server hardware. A BMC's SNMP agent, by contrast, usually describes the BMC itself — its small ARM Linux, its memory, its network links — and not the server it manages (see SNMP).

Uso tipico. Server fans, temperatures, power supplies and drives, read from its BMC

Passaggi di configurazione: Create a read-only account on the management controller
  1. Open the web interface of the management controller (BMC), not the operating system of the server.

  2. Create a local user named as follows, with a long password used nowhere else.

    dumbmonit
  3. Give it the read-only right of your vendor, listed below.

  4. In DumbMonit, enter the controller address (bmc.lan or 10.0.0.50) with that user name and password.

Attenzione. Do not reuse the controller's factory account, which can power the server off and reflash the firmware; a self-signed certificate needs "Accept an unverifiable certificate" ticked.
