SUMMARY:Out-of-Band (BMC based) Data Center Monitoring DMTF Redfish 
 API Integration with Nagios

 Monitoring DMTF Redfish API Integration with Nagios\n\nAli, Chen, Ha
 ss, Sill\n\nNagios is an industry standard for HPC infrastructure monitori
 ng including hosts and associated hardware components, networks, storages,
  services, and applications. However, there are significant issues with tr
 aditional Nagios including 1) Nagios requires human intervention for the d
 efinition and maintenance of remote hosts configurations in Nagios Core.  
 2) It requires Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) on Nagios Server and e
 ach monitored remote host.  3) It also mandates Nagios Service Check Accep
 tor (NSCA) on each monitored remote host.  4) And also requires Check spec
 ific agents (e.g. SNMP) on each monitored remote host. In order to address
  these issues, we have integrated Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF)
 ’s Redfish API with Nagios core. DMTF's Redfish API is an open industry st
 andard specification and schema designed to meet the expectations of end u
 sers for simple, modern and secure management of scalable platform hardwar
 e. Redfish API is essentially out-of-band protocol which is implemented in
  baseboard management controller (BMC) of the system. Redfish API supports
  network-based auto-discovery which is quite instrumental in automating co
 nfiguration of remote hosts. Nagios plugins will be directly communicating
  to BMC so it eliminates the requirement of any agent and configuration on
  remote hosts. Redfish API integration with Nagios is potentially a huge p
 aradigm shift in Nagios based monitoring in terms of: 1) simplifying commu
 nication between Nagios server and monitored hosts; and 2) eliminating com
 putational cost and complexity of running Nagios native protocols (NRPE an
 d NSCA) and other agents (SNMP) on the monitored hosts.
