Project Notes
*** LATEST CHANGES: Split up "asset" check to only report Serial / Service Tag. New "description" check will return make & model. Also rewrote code to support SNMPv3 checking. Along with this came improved error handling and also use of passing user-friendly -- parameters. Finally, simplified output and and improved perfdata. This plugin attempts to get you as much information as needed out of your Dell switches. Usage for SNMP v1/2c: check_powerconnect -H {host/IP} -t {type of check} [-C {SNMP community}] [-p] [-w] [-c] [-S] Usage for SNMP v3: check_powerconnect -v 3 -H {host/IP} -t {type of check} -u {user} -x {protocol} -X {password} -a {protocol} -A {password} -l {security mode} [-p] [-S] [-w] [-c] Possible checks to run are as follows: assets description uptime ports port health temps fans psus So, to check the status of port 2: check_powerconnect -H {host/IP} -C {SNMP community} -t port -p 2 Or for ports 1, 3, 6 and 10: check_powerconnect -H {host/IP} -C {SNMP community} -t port -p 1,3,6,10 To check the status of the power supplies: check_powerconnect -H {hostname / IP address} -C {SNMP community} -t psus As the Dell manual for our PowerConnect specifies - 1 switch is treated as a "stack" , so interpret output appropriately. Although loss of *redundant* power is not typically critical, I have treated it as such to ensure you receive an e-mail (without having to tweak the plugin configuration).

Feature proposal - warning on ports up (or down)
by jeremie.legrand, May 31, 2017

Hello, Thanks for your job. It would be great if we can trigger a warning when the number of active ports is under a specific value. For example, warning if only 7 ports are up, and critical if only 6 are up: ./check_powerconnect -H ip -C public -t ports -w 7 -c 6 Best regards, Jeremie L.
