IPMI System Event Logs supported?

[kurono]

Hi,

I would like to ask if ZABBIX allows to read IPMIs System Event Log (SEL),
and if possible to process the information gathered there to e.g. send alerts.
Also is it possible to automatically clear this log?

I know that there are ways to do that with ipmitool, but I could not find if
it can be done with ZABBIX:

* To list the content of the SEL: ipmitool -I lanplus -H node -U foo -P bar sel list
* To clear the content of the SEL: ipmitool -I lanplus -H node -U foo -P bar sel clear

Or maybe the only possible way is with an external script.

Many thanks for you work,
kurono

currently i am using zabbix 3.2.8 and was looking for the same...

setup another user via ipmi (see this link: Benutzer mit USER privilege level)

ipmitool -H 192.168.1.200 -U admin -P mysecretadminpw user set name 3 monitor
ipmitool -H 192.168.1.200 -U admin -P mysecretadminpw user set password 3
(enter 2x password for monitor user, i entered "monitor" twice)
ipmitool -H 192.168.1.200 -U admin -P mysecretadminpw channel setaccess 1 3 link=on ipmi=on callin=on privilege=2
ipmitool -H 192.168.1.200 -U admin -P mysecretadminpw user enable 3

created sel_last_entry.sh (in /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/) and make it executeable with chmod +x

#!/bin/bash
ipmitool -H 192.168.1.200 -L USER -U monitor -P monitor sel list | tail -n 1

created item in zabbix:

Name: System Event Log
Type: External check
Key: sel_last_entry.sh
Type of information: Log
Update interval (in sec): 3600

created trigger in zabbix: (you may need to change the template name where you added the item)

Name: IPMI: System Event Log entries found
Severity: Warning
Expression: {Template IPMI ASUS ASMB4:sel_last_entry.sh.regexp(^SEL has no entries$)}=0

hope it helps.

Reading of SEL is not supported. Only sensors can be read.
You can create a feature request and people can vote for it.

Hi!
the situation is still the same? SEL is not supported?

Yes. No plans for SEL support now.
