Does anyone know if ~modern HP iLO can show power usage too?
Looking through my Gen8 HP Microservers just now, I'm not seeing power usage info. :(
"Power Information" is just showing the state of the power supplies (aka "OK", "Good, In Use") and not much else.
Since iLO3 (~2010) and even more simple one (as in momentary) even at iLO2.
It's just your MicroServers are gutted so they wouldn't compete with enterprise gear and ML line (probably).
Try:
SNMP
IPMI
HPE Agents (Linux, Windows)
REST/RIBCLI interface for iLO (https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?language=e...)
It certanly has some reading on the power but it's just don't display it in the interface.
At least https://www.storagereview.com/review/hp-proliant-microserver... says it has Power Meter menu entry?
Also check if you really running the updated firmware for the iLO.
Thanks. The Power Meter menu entry is there, but clicking on it just gives a blank page with this text:
That's with iLO "Advanced" too. :(
Haven't bothered with setting up SNMP nor IPMI on the Microservers though, as it seemed like a bunch of effort for no real benefit (for a homelab). The HPE agents thing is an idea. I'll have to take a look at what that needs, can hook into, etc. :)
These Microservers are definitely running the latest firmware, and the latest iLO firmware too (released last year).
