Hello
We have many old iDrac5 monitored with all their services correctly and without problems (IPMI v1.5). But just one iDrac6 is giving us problems with the same rules that we are using for iDracs5. There is no way to get the services remotely.
Is on your system also “ipmi-sensors” available as command?
The problem is that the special agent knows no option for the “ipmitool” to switch between “lan” and “lanplus”.
With the “ipmi-sensors” you have the options inside the special agent configuration like “driver-type” and there you can insert “LAN_2_0” what’s something like the lanplus in your example.
The “freeipmi” package is a little bit more flexible with the configuration of the connection.
Indeed the Freeipmi is more flexible and I have been able to get the sensors information with the configuration that you told me but a new problem has appeared, some services are in CRIT:
Deasserted sensors can also be ignored i think.
Is this data generated with the IPMI special agent or from the IPMI Linux agent output?
If you use the special agent this can be suppressed with the option “Suppress not available sensors” if i remember it correctly.
Or the discovery rule for IPMI sensors has the option to ignore some sensor states like the “deasserted”.
I created the discovery rule for IPMI sensors and ignored the deasserted states, and that´s fine. But I´ve realized that when monitoring via IPMI, the interfaces are not apperaring. I mean, there are no interface services (if) as before activated IPMI. And this is a problem…
