Zabbix 5.2 IPMI template - USER/PASSWORD macro

[Amiram]

Hey,

I'm very new at Zabbix and I'm trying to enrich my templates.

Starting at 5.0 there is a build in IPMI check

https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/ipmi

According to the documentation I can create a macro for the IPMI USER and PASSWORD and it will be used at the host as the IPMI username/password.

I have edited the macro and added

{$IPMI.USER}

and

{$IPMI.PASSWORD}

to the macro and I can see it has been inherited by the host from the template.

But It's not working as expected.
It's connecting to the IPMI only if I'm setting the username and password at the IPMI tab.
Any idea?

P.S
Is there a way to set the privilege as well using the ipmi check module?

Best regargs,
Amiram

Any idea how to solve this issue?

you may create a user-level macro {$IPMI.USER} and {$IPMI.PASSWORD} (or something else) and use it on the IPMI tab.
