We've been using the NAGIOS plugin 'check_dell_warranty.py' to save off warranty information during our system builds.

However, we've found that recent changes to the underlying site that the script uses makes the script unreliable, and we've had to look for alternatives.

We found an alternate method  which uses a SOAP client to grab the data. Since we're not great PERL fans here, we converted it into a Ruby script, a basic version is posted here for your leverage. Hopefully it will save someone some time!

#!/bin/ruby

WSDL_URL    = 'http://xserv.dell.com/services/assetservice.asmx?WSDL'


GUID = '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'
App  = 'Test'
ST   = 'YOUR SERVICE TAG'

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'

driver    = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URL).create_rpc_driver
result = driver.GetAssetInformation(:guid => GUID, :applicationName => App, :serviceTags => ST)

puts '------------------'
result.getAssetInformationResult.asset.entitlements.entitlementData.each do | entitlement |
    puts entitlement.entitlementType
    puts entitlement.serviceLevelDescription
    puts entitlement.provider
    puts entitlement.serviceLevelCode
    puts entitlement.startDate
    puts entitlement.endDate
    puts entitlement.daysLeft
    puts '------------------'
