IPMI

The Intelligent Platform Management Interface is a set of computer interface specifications for an autonomous computer subsystem that provides management and monitoring capabilities independently of the host systemr´s CPU, firmware and operating system.

Chassis by IPMI

Overview

Template for monitoring servers with BMC over IPMI that work without any external scripts. All metrics are collected at once, thanks to Zabbix's bulk data collection. It collects metrics by polling BMC remotely using an IPMI agent.

###Known Issues

  • Description: If the BMC has a sensor with an empty threshold value, we get the LLD error "Cannot create trigger...".

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • HP iLO, DELL DRAC, IBM RSA

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

You can set {$IPMI.USER} and {$IPMI.PASSWORD} macros in the template for using on the host level.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$IPMI.USER}

This macro is used for access to BMC. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level.

{$IPMI.PASSWORD}

This macro is used for access to BMC. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level.

{$IPMI.SENSOR_TYPE.MATCHES}

This macro is used in sensors discovery. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level.

.*
{$IPMI.SENSOR_TYPE.NOT_MATCHES}

This macro is used in sensors discovery. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level.

It is a state of the discrete IPMI sensor.

Dependent item ipmi.state_text[{#SENSOR_ID}]

Preprocessing

  • JSON Path: $.[?(@.id=='{#SENSOR_ID}')].state.text.first()

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 1d
