    IPMI readings won't work

    Hi,

    I'm quite new to ZABBIX, but until now I really like it^^

    Now I wanted to setup IPMI monitoring for some servers.
    It also works, but only the first value of the template I created is read out.
    The other 15 values are only updated randomly.
    I think this is because my servers only supports 1 LAN channel and the IPMI readings via ipmitool are very very slow, so while the first value is read out, the others get network errors, because there is already a LAN-session.

    Also while ZABBIX is getting the values, I cannot send any commands to the IPMI host.

    Now my question is: How can I fix this? Do I need to use some external scripts with cron-jobs like in this tutorial?
    Can't ZABBIX gather the values ONCE every 3 minutes?

    Because ZABBIX natively supports IPMI I would like to use the IPMI-agent instead of using external scripts.

    Thanks in advance
    Mark
