How do I configure HP iLO REST monitoring?

Supported devices

To create a monitoring user account

Configuration details to specify when adding the asset to Entuity

Entuity supports hardware monitoring on HP ProLiant Gen 9 systems and above through the embedded iLO RESTful API in iLO 4/5. Entuity also supports hardware monitoring on HP Apollo Gen 10 Plus. Entuity discovers the chassis, servers, interconnects, storage enclosures, composers, as well as additional internal components, such as network interfaces, memory, physical disks, power supplies, and fans for each system. To do so, the Entuity collector uses port 443 (which must be open bidirectionally between the Entuity server/agent and the system) and a monitoring user account.
