If the sensors are not available, install VMware tools on that host. Note that OpManager raises alerts based on the colour value available (alerts are raised if the colour is anything other than 'green'). For hardwareStatusInfo: content → rootFolder → childEntity → hostFolder → childEntity → host → runtime → healthSystemRuntime → hardwareStatusInfo → cpuStatusInfo (or) memoryStatusInfo (or) storageStatusInfo.For numericSensorInfo: content → rootFolder → childEntity → hostFolder → childEntity → host → runtime → healthSystemRuntime → systemHealthInfo → numericSensorInfo.
After logging into the MOB, navigate to the paths given below and check if values are being populated for both the methods: For hardwareStatusInfo (cpuStatusInfo / memoryStatusInfo / storageStatusInfo):.To make sure hardware monitoring works properly, check whether sensor information are available on MOB by using the following MOB link: OpManager's hardware monitoring uses the methods hardwareStatusInfo and numericSensorInfo from VMware API to poll the hardware status and stats of devices in the VMware environment. If you find the hardware tabs missing, follow the below steps: 1. If Hardware Sensor Monitors are not displayed, then please make sure that Dell OpenManage has been installed on that server.
