Hi @jenniferKaiser21, has the additional scrapes for the firmware versions caused a drastic increase in total scrape durations? |
@derrick-dacosta , it depends on how many firmware components are collected, but it can increase the scrape time by a fair amount. Here are a few examples, and I can provide you server hostnames privately if you're interested: Time test with and without firmware gatheringServer 1:iLO 5 Server 2:iLO 5 Server 3:iLO 5 Server 4:iLO 5 Server 5:iLO 4 |

@derrick-dacosta @ibrahimkk-moideen , I've added the firmware.modules-exclude flag, updated the README, and the CHANGELOG. |
Summary of Enhancements
This PR further enhances the metrics gathering of all currently supported server models for collection of vital Firmware Inventory Component details, such as firmware version. This enhancement considers the wide variety of configurations, including iLO version and physical variances, accounting for the multiple endpoint possibilities for metrics collection.
Testing results
Tested locally against 47 servers with different hardware configuration, and iLO versions. Notably, tested against Cisco servers that do not have the firmware inventory.
