Blackbox likes exporter used to exports HP Server Integrated Lights Out (iLO) states to Prometheus.

Gauges

Here are the status code of gauge

0 - OK
1 - Degraded
2 - Dead (Other)

Output example

Example of status of your iLO

health_at_a_glance:
  battery: {status: OK}
  bios_hardware: {status: OK}
  fans: {redundancy: Redundant, status: OK}
  memory: {status: OK}
  network: {status: Link Down},
  power_supplies: {redundancy: Redundant, status: OK}
  processor: {status: OK}
  storage: {status: Degraded}
  temperature: {status: OK}
  vrm: {status: Ok}
  drive: {status: Ok}

The returned output would be:

Installing

You can install exporter on the server directly or on separate machine. To run, you must have Python and pip installed.

To install with pip:

pip install -e $HPILO_EXPORTER_DIR

Then just:

hpilo-exporter [--address=0.0.0.0 --port=9416 --endpoint="/metrics"]

HPILO is also available on Pypi so it can be installed directly:

pip install hpilo-exporter

Docker

Prebuild images are available from the docker repository:

idnt/hpilo-exporter:latest

To build the image yourself

docker build --rm -t hpilo-exporter .

To run the container

docker run -p 9416:9416 hpilo-exporter:latest

You can then call the web server on the defined endpoint, /metrics by default.

curl 'http://127.0.0.1:9416/metrics?ilo_host=127.0.0.1&ilo_port=443&ilo_user=admin&ilo_password=admin'

Passing argument to the docker run command

docker run -p 9416:9416 hpilo-exporter:latest --port 9416 --ilo_user my_user --ilo_password my_secret_password

Docker compose

Here is an example of Docker Compose deployment:

hpilo:
    image: my.registry/hpilo-exporter
    ports:
      - 9416:9416
    command:
      - '--port=9416'
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints:
          - node.hostname == my_node.domain

Kubernetes

A helm chart is available at prometheus-helm-addons.

Prometheus config

Assuming:

• the exporter is available on http://hpilo:9416
• you use same the port,username and password for all your iLO

- job_name: 'hpilo'
  scrape_interval: 1m
  params:
    ilo_port: ['443']
    ilo_user: ['my_ilo_user']
    ilo_password: ['my_ilo_password']
  static_configs:
    - targets:
      - ilo_fqdn.domain

  relabel_configs:
    - source_labels: [__address__]
      target_label: __param_ilo_host
    - source_labels: [__param_ilo_host]
      target_label: ilo_host
    - target_label: __address__
