Server monitoring using idrac-exporter, Prometheus, & Grafana.
Servers normally use the SNMP protocol for monitoring data but what happens when there is a bug rendering this unreliable (as is the case with some of our HPe servers). We use the Redfish API to obtain the data for monitoring. This data is run through an idrac-exporter to make it suitable for Prometheus scraping, then rules have been set on Alertmanager, & visibility through Grafana Dashboards.
