Disable a Hardware Sensor

[HORSTJ]

I have a ProLiant DL360p Gen8 running esxi 6.5 with a memory sensor problem. VMware shows two info/errors under the Memory rollup, and these get relayed to our SolarWinds monitor and show as red flagged errors with host memory and kick off alerts.

I have asked about the memory messages and have been told they are not critical and can be safely ignored, but the reporting itself is causing problems. Is there anyway to disable these two sensors or kill the reporting that riles up Solarwinds?

I haven't found a way to disable through the webclient, and the scripts I've seen enumerate HealthStatusSystem but don't seem to have a set feature anywhere to disable, ON/OFF, a sensor.

Afaik ESXi only reads most of these sensors (through IPMI).

I suspect you would need to go into the OOB board on the server, and check if sensors can be disabled.

But to be honest, I haven't seen any HW that allows one to disable a sensor programmatically.

On a sidenote, if I remember correctly, you can disable sensors in SolarWinds itself.

Can you check, I don't have the package running.
