 Description   

it would be very nice if you add redfish support, that is a more powerfull alternative to IPMI..
In some Server manufactors like Supermicro, Dell, HP it can be already used, to read data and send commands
take a look at this page: http://redfish.dmtf.org/

Please change Priority to Critical now as Redfish is growing : Dell; Intel, IBM, ...  and some constructors will soon deliver their products without IPMI for security reason

since we've http-agent and a powerfull javascript, json thing in zabbix we can do this. I'm working on a template for this

Comment by Stefan [ 2019 Nov 15 ]

OK, it looks like that we need ZBXNEXT-1527 for this, because /redfish/v1/Chassis/<ID>/Thermal or /redfish/v1/Chassis/<ID>/Power/PowerSupplies/<ID> is an variable URL because <ID> can change from server to server. So we need nested LLD first to solve this or we create a Template per vendor/server

Hi @Stefan, I am so happy that you care about Redfish !

I fully agree with you about "variable Urls".

I guess /redfish/v1/Chassis/ is a ChassisCollection schema so yes, we need a nested LLD following "Contains" members to obtain the list of Chassis.

If you care : I would prefer a solution without agent: http(s) requests could be done remotely by the server without agent, no ? May be on server agent ?

Tell me if you need help about Redfish specification, I know much about that standard.

Regards,

Francine
