Monitoring Dell Compellent Storage

I wonder if anyone has done this, information seems very sparse.

I’m trying to monitor a selection of Dell Compellent storage devices. They are detected as Generic FreeBSD devices.

I have added the Dell DELL-STORAGE-SC-MIB MIB and tried to run the new-os.php script to build the YAML file, but it fails, and only creates a blank file.

I’m running:
./scripts/new-os.php -h 294 -o compellent -t storage -v dell

Here is an example:

The Dell Storage MIB:

./validate.php

Component Version
LibreNMS 1.60-23-g95820bf
DB Schema 2020_02_05_224042_device_inserted_null (158)
PHP 7.2.27
MySQL 5.5.64-MariaDB
RRDTool 1.4.8
SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.2
====================================

[OK] Composer Version: 1.9.3
[OK] Dependencies up-to-date.
[OK] Database connection successful
[OK] Database schema correct

Please can someone help me progress this? Thanks.

MIB2C was not installed. This is installed with net-snmp-perl.x86_64.

I have installed this now and the new-os.php script appears to run, except for when you get to the end and it tries to create the file:

Enter multiplier (defaults to 1)
/opt/librenms/includes/definitions/discovery/compellent.yaml already exists, here’s the data we would have added:[root@netmon librenms]#

The file is blank, nothing written to it, and no data listed to be able to recreate it.

Update:
I’ve tried changing file permissions on this, and also deleting the file and running script again:

Failed to create new discovery file /opt/librenms/includes/definitions/discovery/compellent.yaml
[root@netmon librenms]#

Any further help with running the new-os.php script would be appreciated.

I’ve also tried to run this script as user Librenms:

su - librenms

-bash-4.2$ ./scripts/new-os.php -h 294 -o compellent -t storage -v dell

Please has anyone got experience of running new-os.php script that can advise?
