I'm trying to configure advanced monitoring for FreeBSD 7.x and 8x installation on Dells recent R-series poweredge servers, and could really benefit from the advanced features provided by the OpenManage.

Seconded, we would dearly like to have more proactive monitoring on our

As a side note, the check_openmanage plugin also works fine on debian 4
etch, 5 lenny and 6 squeeze.
