Dell Server - WMI Hardware Monitoring - Power Supply Status Not being caught

[christinescoms]

Historically we monitored all our servers using SNMP, which caught all our Dell Server Disk and Power Supply information nicely.



More recently we switched to WMI and although there is much that we have gained there is also pieces that we have lost. Specifically we lost the Disk and some Power Supply awareness.



We have a work around in place for the disks but we have examples of power supplies failing and not being caught until someone is physically in front of the server.



So Dell Open Manage shows it as failed but the actual status isn't showing in Solarwinds. So just looking for ideas on how to catch this?
