audit: Phase 3 - HP/Aruba and Dell sensor analysis complete
Completed comprehensive sensor discovery analysis for HP/Aruba and Dell platforms.
Identified critical gaps in network switch monitoring.
Files Added:
- docs/librenms-audit/sensors/hp-aruba-comparison.md
Analyzed 6 HP/Aruba platforms (ProCurve, Comware, hpblmos, ArubaOS, CX, Instant On)
- ProCurve: 60% parity (missing transceiver metrics)
- Comware: 40% parity (CRITICAL - missing temperature + transceivers)
- hpblmos: 0% parity (CRITICAL - no sensor profile)
- ArubaOS-CX: 100% parity (EXCELLENT - exceeds LibreNMS)
- ArubaOS: 100% parity (controller platform)
- Instant On: 100% parity (AP platform)
- docs/librenms-audit/sensors/dell-comparison.md
Analyzed 11 Dell platforms (OS10, rPDU, UPS, OME-M, Compellent, PowerVault,
PowerConnect, Force10, SONiC, Quanta, Servers)
- Excellent: OS10, rPDU, OME-M, Compellent (100% parity)
- Critical gaps: PowerConnect, Force10, SONiC, PowerVault, Servers (0% parity)
Network switches severely underserved compared to infrastructure/storage
- docs/librenms-audit/PHASE3-VENDOR-EXPANSION.md
Executive summary with implementation priorities and effort estimates
- Tier 1: Critical network switches (8-12 hours)
- Tier 2: Optical monitoring (4-6 hours)
- Tier 3: Storage/compute (7-10 hours)
- Tier 4: Blade chassis (5-7 hours)
Total: 26-38 hours for full parity
Key Findings:
- Modern platforms excellent (Aruba CX, Dell OS10)
- Network switches need urgent attention (HP Comware, Dell PowerConnect/FTOS/SONiC)
- HP Comware missing fundamental temperature monitoring (BLOCKING)
- Dell PowerConnect/DNOS/Force10/SONiC missing all sensors (CRITICAL)
- Dell enterprise servers (iDRAC) not supported (CRITICAL)
Next Steps: Implement Tier 1 critical network switch sensor profiles.
