  1. Hi Paul,

    so this is my solution for a simple single Dell R330. Thanks to the Dell-Support and a Tool called EventLogSourcesView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/event_log_sources_view.html).

    1. Make sure the server runs with the newest drivers and software.

    2. Make sure the iDRAC 8 Express is correctly configured and working. I also configured a fallback e-mail notification over the iDRAC 8 Express.

    3. Install the Dell OpenMange Server Administrator and configure it for your needs.

    4. In the Pulseway Agent:

    4.1. Under System -> Services activate everything with DSM* (e.g. DSM SA Connect Service, DSM SA Data Manager, DSM SA Event Manager, DSM SA Shared Services) ... this should be Dell Services which needs to run!

    4.2. Under Notifications -> Services activate everything with DSM* ... like before, so we get a notification if the services are not running.

    4.3. Under Notifications -> Event Log -> I created two filters. One for Errors (Critical) and one for Warnings and Audit Failures (Elevated). I look only in the Event Log System, and as Source I take the services from before, but with name (e.g. Server Administrator, dcstor64, dcevt64, omsad).

    Today I did some tests, and it looks like it would work without any troubles...

    Greetings,

  2. Hi Paul,

    that's a bit complicated...

    In the moment I am only working with DELL. Together with the DELL support, I am working for a good solution over iDRAC and the OpenManagement Server Administrator. They report to the Windows Event Logs, and I catch it over Pulseway Event Log Notification.

    I am still working on it, so I need some time to give an exact information, but let's say: powersupply, fans and raid should be the most important ones.

    Thanks,
    Christian. 

  3. Hi Paul,

    think of you are a MSP. You don't want to spend a lot of time with different tools. If the customer want's your service, than you just install the Pulseway Agent, and you get everything you need to give a good support.

    For the fact that not every customer has a HP, DELL or whatever premium hardware manufactured device, it would be helpful to find at least the right motherboard information, to find the right drivers.

    Thanks,
    Christian.

  4. Hi,

    I use the app for my smartphone, the app for my tablet, the app for my Windows 10 computer and the WebApp. I don't use the dashboard, because I see no sence in it, and it only works on a computer. If I want to change the configuration of an Agent, I need to connect via RemoteSupport or I have to use this dashboard app. I think it would be better to have everything in the apps.

    Thanks,
    Christian.
