Hey guys,

I want to make a script that monitors individual blades in our H-Series bladecenter via SNMP. What I want to do is put in the bb-hosts file blade:# where # would indicate the blade slot number that would be used on snmpget against the bladecenter to get the information on that blade. Any ideas on how I could go about this?

Just to clarify, I need to know a way to parse out the # part of blade:# from bb-hosts.

I don't know if there is a scripting mailing list for hobbit exclusively, and my scripting abilities is very basic, so any help would be awesome! :)

Have you looked at using devmon to monitor the bladecenter instead of 
querying each blade individually?  That's what I'm doing.  I have the 
regualr hobbit client installed on each blade and devmon querying the 
bladecenter management module via snmp.  It works really well.  I have 
data for blower fan speeds, temperatures, event log, LED status, and 
power domains from every bladecenter within Hobbit, and use NCV to 
create graphs of that data where it makes sense to do so.

There is only one mailing list, this one.

bbhostshow will dump the bb-hosts file.  You can use perl or shell to parse 
the lines you need.  I prefer perl to parse text.  Somethine like:

./bbhostshow | perl -e 'while (<STDIN>) { if ( $_ =~ /blade:(.+) / ) { 
print "BLADE: $1\n\n" ; } } '

I love perl :)

If I remember correctly, someone posted bladecenter templates for devmon 
(which is made for use with Hobbit/BB). You may want to avoid re-inventing 
the wheel here ...

Thanks for the details guys, but I'm designing a script to monitor individual blades in the bladecenter, rather than the bladecenter chassis.

So I need to configure a script to specify the port the server is plugged into the blade chassis, and then I just realized, I need to specify the hostname/ip of the blade center it's wired to so I can do a proper snmp.

So something like blades:4:bladecenter1.host.com in the bb-hosts file?


Please note that our blade center holds 14 blades.

No problem, just a suggestion.  If you just want to monitor each blade individually and you aren't interested in what the management module has to say, why don't you just add a line for each blade in bb-hosts and monitor/snmp query each host as if it were a standalone server?

Because you need to run the snmp query against the blade server, and specify the port number the blade is on. Or else you'll pull all of the 14 blades data.

For the record, I am doing the blade center chassis in my own little way, but it will be still nice to note individual settings for the blades itself.

Here's what I got for my script of the blade center

Hi Iain,

I really don't want to install an smnp client on each windows machine, which may or may not affect the performance of a mission critical servers, to do the polling of data, when I can actually get the hobbit server to fire a script.

Also, what or how I am executing this script is not the question I am placing here. I'm just wondering how I can read parameters after the test name in bb-hosts (my planned version of blades:(blade port number):(ip address)) that is very similar to the setup of how Henrik has badtest:x:x:x

I was meaning the hobbit client, which has very little overhead. This is 
not an snmp client.

Having not much experience of blade centers, I would go with those who 
have experience, like tom's post in reply to your question. As you wish 
to monitor individual blades, what are your reservations to installing 
the client?

Hi Iain,

I really don't want to install an smnp client on each windows machine,

Also, what or how I am executing this script is not the question I am

name in bb-hosts (my planned version of blades:(blade port number):(ip

Did you even look at the example script I sent? Did you reply saying what it 
didn't do that you need?

Or, are you looking for someone to teach you how to read and write scripts (in 
which case I think you're looking in the wrong place).

This email didn't make it onto the list, so I thought I forward it here.

Hi Buchan,

I didn't see it until you mentioned it. Email got blocked by our spam filter for some silly reason. ;)  It looks like bbhostgrep does not like : entries in the 4.2.0 release. I think I might need to use bbhostshow and parse it manually, as buggy that might be :\ unless I am missing something.
