1 title: Memory module status using IPMI via freeipmi
7 This check reads the memory module status information from IPMI on
8 FSC TX 120 systems (and maybe others).
10 This check uses the information of the utility {ipmi-sensors}
11 from the utility package {freeipmi}. You need your host kernel
12 to support IPMI and have ipmi-sensors in your executable path for
13 the agent to send that data.
15 Addinionally you need to extend your agent on the monitored system
16 using a check_mk_agent_plugin named {fsc_ipmi_mem_status.sh}. This
17 agent plugin can be found in the {doc} directory of check_mk.
19 To enable this plugin simply copy it to the plugins directory of
20 check_mk_agent on your target machines. By default the directory
21 is located here: /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins
23 This plugin has been developed on FSC TX 120 but may also work on
24 other FSC hardware platforms. Please tell us when you find some
25 other software where this plugin outputs valid information
27 The plugin has been tested with freeipmi 0.5.1 and 0.8.4. Other
28 versions may work too but have not been used during implementation.
31 This is the sensor name as reported by {ipmi-sensors} command e.g. {DIMM-1A}
34 Each memory module which has an attached module results in one
35 service which will be named {IPMI DIMM-*}.
