If you monitor HPE iLO devices via Redfish, the Network adapter services no longer go to WARN just because a port of the adapter is not in use. Rediscover the services of affected hosts to apply the fix. Until then, existing services behave as before.

The check now monitors only the ports that were up at discovery:

  • A monitored port goes down or is no longer reported: CRIT
  • A port that was down at discovery comes up: WARN until you rediscover the service
  • A port that was down at discovery stays down: ignored

Background: iLO reports unused ports as unhealthy and rolls that into the health state of the whole adapter. It does not say what caused an adapter warning, so the check ignores it whenever an unused port reports the same severity. The change covers every adapter that lists its ports in HPE's Redfish extension. The service summary also no longer shows the WARN next to the part number.
