Generated agents and modules

The plugin creates one agent for each configured target. The name is built from Agent name prefix followed, in order of preference, by the host name reported by Redfish, the serial number, or the target address. The agent uses Other as its operating system, iDRAC 9 or iDRAC 10 as its version, and the interval and group configured in the Discovery task.

The Connection module is always created. It returns 1 when communication with the Redfish API succeeds and 0 when an error occurs.

Permanent module Type Unit Description
Connection generic_proc Connection status for the Redfish API.

Storage modules

Resource Generated modules
Controller Health and State as generic_data_string; Speed as generic_data in Gbps; Cache as generic_data in MiB.
Physical drive Health and State as generic_data_string; Capacity as generic_data in bytes; Media Type and Protocol as generic_data_string; Life Left as generic_data in %; Failure Predicted as generic_data.
Volume Health and State as generic_data_string; Capacity as generic_data in bytes; RAID Type and Volume Type as generic_data_string.

Only modules whose values are available in the server's Redfish response are generated. Therefore, the exact number of modules may vary depending on the PowerEdge model, iDRAC version, firmware, and installed hardware.
