IPMI Template For IBM Integrated Management Module

[Andre Torres]

Where did you find them?

Sire,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for the templates. I'm testing them just now.
I was wondering where you got those item keys and sensors. Is there any documentation for this?

I'd like to also monitor disk's health, so guess I need to know their keys, but I don't know how.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Andre,

The template was generated with the help of the scripts published here.

IBM IMM IPMI board doesn't know anything about disk health, as far as I know. You need to install Zabbix agent inside the host OS and use smartctl or something else to get these data. See Zabbix docs on UserParameter.

Hello again Sergey.
I'm running VMware ESXi 5.0 on my server, that's why I can't use the agent to get info about disk health.

I runned this command on my Zabbix Server:

ipmitool -H SERVER_IMM_IP -U USER -P PASSWORD sdr

If I understood it right, this command gives me the sensors I need to monitor. Here is the result:

Now I can monitor, for example, the "Fan 1 Tach" information (I get 1750 RPM as the result). However, when I try to monitor "Drive 0" (the result should be 0x01), I got a not supported error in Zabbix. I mean, I can only monitor things that result in Text or Number.

Is it the "Type of information" that I'm missing here? I tried setting it to Numeric (unsigned) + Hexadecimal but it didn't work.

Thanks a lot!

Hello again Sergey.
I'm running VMware ESXi 5.0 on my server, that's why I can't use the agent to get info about disk health.

I runned this command on my Zabbix Server:

ipmitool -H SERVER_IMM_IP -U USER -P PASSWORD sdr

If I understood it right, this command gives me the sensors I need to monitor. Here is the result:

Now I can monitor, for example, the "Fan 1 Tach" information (I get 1750 RPM as the result). However, when I try to monitor "Drive 0" (the result should be 0x01), I got a not supported error in Zabbix. I mean, I can only monitor things that result in Text or Number.

Is it the "Type of information" that I'm missing here? I tried setting it to Numeric (unsigned) + Hexadecimal but it didn't work.

Thanks a lot!

Hi ZabbixSon,

These vallues are set in GUI, not in the template file. Please see Zabbix manual on IPMI.
