Using an IPMI Encryption Key

[sitar_hero]

I'm fairly new to Zabbix and am in the process of setting it up to monitor my homelab. I was able to successfully gather data from my Dell r710 using IPMI. During configuration I noticed that the iDRAC6 interface has an Encryption Key field in the IPMI settings which accepts a hex encoded string.

Is there any way to add that IPMI encryption key in addition to the IPMI username/password from within Zabbix?

To use it with ipmitool, you can specify the key using the -k or -y flags.

Thanks!

If you do not want to use the enc key, specify it on the device with all zeros and you will not need an additional parameter in zabbix (taken from the Internet)

Thanks for the reply!

It's currently working with the Encryption Key set with all zeroes.

What if I do want to use it? Is there a way to add a field in Zabbix to utilize the option?

I don't know. There is no such parameter in the standard configuration. Try to look at the source codes of the project and figure out what you can change.
