Requirements for monitoring Dell servers

Some of the sensors that monitor Dell servers require the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator to be installed on the device. This applies to the SNMP Dell PowerEdge Physical Disk sensor and the SNMP Dell PowerEdge System Health sensor, for example. You can download the required tool here:
