Remarks
For Gen10 servers: This sensor requiresHPE Agentless Management and the HPE Agentless Management Service on the target system.
For Gen10 servers: Use the HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) interface as the parent device.
For Gen9 servers or earlier: This sensor requires HPE Insight Management Agents and HPE Insight Management WBEM Providers on the target system.
This sensor supports iLO as of iLO 3. We recommend that you use at least iLO 4.
This sensor supports IPv6.
This sensor has a very low performance impact.
This sensor uses lookups to determine the status values of one or more channels.
Detailed Requirements

Description
HPE system management tools
For Gen9 servers or earlier, this sensor requires a specific HPE system management tool to be installed on the target system to report data via SNMP: HPE Insight Management Agents. To receive SNMP data from redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controllers, the sensor also requires HPE Insight Management Agents. For Gen10 servers, this sensor no longer requires HPE system management tools. Instead, the sensor requires the HPE Agentless Management Service to be installed on the target system.
For Gen9 servers or earlier, some of the HPE object identifiers (OID) that this sensor uses are only accessible via the iLO interface. If this sensor throws an error that it cannot find "such device types", create a device that points to the address of the HPE iLO interface (if available) and add the sensor to this device. We recommend that you use the Agentless Management feature with configured SNMP. You can set this up in the iLO configuration interface under Administration | Management | SNMP Settings. For Gen10 servers, use the HPE iLO interface as parent device for this sensor.
If the name contains angle brackets (<>), PRTG replaces them with braces ({}) for security reasons. For more information, see the Knowledge Base: What security features does PRTG include?
This setting is for your information only. You cannot change it.
Tags
Enter one or more tags. Confirm each tag with the Spacebar key, a comma, or the Enter key. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Tags are not case-sensitive. Tags are automatically inherited.
It is not possible to enter tags with a leading plus (+) or minus (-) sign, nor tags with parentheses (()) or angle brackets (<>).
For performance reasons, it can take some minutes until you can filter for new tags that you added.
The sensor has the following default tags that are automatically predefined in the sensor's settings when you add the sensor:
snmphpelogicaldisksensor
logicaldisk
snmphpe
hpe
Priority
Select a priority for the sensor. This setting determines the position of the sensor in lists. The highest priority is at the top of a list. Choose from the lowest priority () to the highest priority ().

Primary Channel
Select a channel from the list to define it as the primary channel. In the device tree, the last value of the primary channel is always displayed below the sensor's name. The available options depend on what channels are available for this sensor.
You can set a different primary channel later by clicking below a channel gauge on the sensor's Overview tab.
Graph Type
Define how different channels are shown for this sensor:
Show channels independently (default): Show a graph for each channel.
Stack channels on top of each other: Stack channels on top of each other to create a multi-channel graph. This generates a graph that visualizes the different components of your total traffic. You cannot use this option in combination with manual Vertical Axis Scaling (available in the channel settings).
Stack Unit
This setting is only visible if you select Stack channels on top of each other above.
Select a unit from the list. All channels with this unit are stacked on top of each other. By default, you cannot exclude single channels from stacking if they use the selected unit. However, there is an advanced procedure to do so.
Inherited Settings
By default, all of these settings are inherited from objects that are higher in the hierarchy. We recommend that you change them centrally in the root group settings if necessary. To change a setting for this object only, click under the corresponding setting name to disable the inheritance and to display its options.
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Scanning Interval.
Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window
You cannot interrupt the inheritance for schedules, dependencies, and maintenance windows. The corresponding settings from the parent objects are always active. However, you can define additional schedules, dependencies, and maintenance windows. They are active at the same time as the parent objects' settings.
Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Schedules, Dependencies, and Maintenance Window.

Channel Unit Configuration
Which channel units are available depends on the sensor type and the available parameters. If no configurable channels are available, this field shows No configurable channels.
Channel Unit Configuration
For more information, see section Root Group Settings, section Channel Unit Configuration.
Channel List
Which channels the sensor actually shows might depend on the target device, the available components, and the sensor setup.

Description
Completion
The completion (%)
This is only important when the disk status is "Reconstructing" or "Expanding" and illustrates the progress of this task.
Disk Status
The disk status
Up status: Expanding, Ok, Rebuilding
Warning status: Ready For Rebuild, Recovering, Unconfigurated
Down status: Bad Connect, Erasing, Failed, Multipath Access Degraded, Not Available, Overheating, Queued For Expansion, Shutdown, Wrong Drive,
Unknown status: Other
This channel is the primary channel by default.
Downtime
In the channel table on the Overview tab, this channel never shows any values. PRTG uses this channel in graphs and reports to show the amount of time in which the sensor was in the Down status
