1 title: Hardware sensors with ipmitool
7 This check makes use of the output of a working {ipmitool} on
8 a Linux system. If the kernel properly supports IPMI and {ipmitool}
9 is installed, then the agent will output the current state of
10 power supplies, cooling devices, temperatures and other devices
11 avaiable via IPMI. This check makes
12 sure that all those devices are working properly.
14 Fortunately, IPMI provides not only the current sensor values but also
15 their state, so no levels need to be configured for this checks.
17 This check provides a summarized mode, where all sensors appear as one
18 summary check per host and a detailed mode with one check per sensor.
20 Please note: on some systems IPMI reports sensors in a non-ok state wheras
21 actually no problem exists. As of version 1.1.11i1 these sensors can be
22 ignored with the configuration variable {ipmi_ignored_sensors}.
25 {"Summary"} for summary mode, the name of the IPMI item
29 In summary mode, one check is created if at least one
30 sensor is found by the agent. In detailed mode one
31 item is created for each sensor found.
33 Note: Some obscure hardware lists sensors in the state
34 {nr} which do not produce usable output. If you set
35 {impi_ignore_nr} to {True} then these sensors will
