Why not monitor using SNMP against the dell server?
There is a mib you can use to get the oids.
We monitor 5 different temperatures, chassis intrusion
etc.

Subject: [SA-list] Dell server monitoring advice
Hi Everyone,
How you don't mind the off-topic message but I'm trying to
find the best way of monitoring my Dell enterprise servers for hardware
failures.
They have Dell openmanage software installed and this logs
events into the event log but for some reason this takes over 5 minutes to query
using the Servers Alive eventlog COM check, this is not ideal as it hold up the
servers alive monitoring progress.
The open manage software can run an external program or
send SNMP traps (it doesn't look like it can send emails !?) . Is there a decent
program you can recommend to collect SNMP traps and then send emails or
integrate into Servers Alive when a specific trap is
received?
Or is there a program I can install locally on the server
to monitor the event log and send and email if a certain even
occurs?
thanks in advance
Steve
