    HP Hardware Health

    Last updated on 17 March, 2023

    LogicMonitor can monitor the underlying hardware health of your HP system when running both Windows or Linux by installing the HP System Management Homepage for Linux/Windows package on the system.  Once installed and snmp is configured, fans, power supplies, RAID status, individual disks, memory, chassis temperature, etc., will automatically be monitored.

    System Management Homepage (SMH) is not supported in HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers, you can use iLO 5 user interface or CLI as an alternative. For more information, refer to the HPE SMH page.

    Windows

    Installation on Windows system is fairly straight forward and accomplished by installing the latest version of HP System Management Homepage found on the HP Website:

    (Note: these links may be outdated, please use the Search field to download the latest version.)

    Once installed you will need to ensure that snmp is installed on the Windows host and configured to allow the collector to poll it. To configure open windows services and find “snmp” and go into the properties of the service.

    Windows
    • <Collector_IP> = the ip address of the collector in LogicMonitor that will be monitoring this device.
    • <mycommunity> = The community string used in LogicMonitor.

    Reboot Requirement:

    Reboot is not required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained.

    Installation:

    Download the rpm package to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. Install for x86 by typing “rpm -ivh hpsmh-< version >.i386.rpm”, or for x86_64 by typing “rpm -ivh hpsmh-< version >.x86_64.rpm”.
