Introduction

From Entuity v19.0 upwards, Entuity supports server hardware monitoring and server OS monitoring.

Hardware monitoring

Entuity provides monitoring for the following hardware platforms:

• Dell iDRAC (SSH and SNMP).
• Dell Open Manage Agent (SNMP).
• HP Insight Manager Agent (SNMP).
• HP Proliant iLO servers (SSH and SNMP).
  • Note, HP Proliant iLO supports SNMP connection with minimal data only; it is recommended you use HP Insight Manager SNMP for greater data return.
• Cisco UCS CIMC (SNMP) (Entuity v20.0 P02 upwards)
• SuperMicro (REST) (Entuity v20.0 P02 upwards)

OS monitoring

Entuity provides OS monitoring via SNMP (for managed hosts) and proprietary virtualization platform APIs (for ESXi, HyperV, Oracle VM, AWS and Azure).

From Entuity v19.0 upwards, data collection via WinRM (for Windows servers) and ssh-based CLI (for Linux servers) is also supported.
