Zabbix Proxy 5.2 on Docker (Ubuntu) - cannot connect to IPMI (Unknown error 16777411)
Hi all
I am really struggling to get IPMI monitoring working via Zabbix Proxy (firewall restrictions mean I can't connect the IPMI machine directly to the Zabbix server). I am using the official Docker image - zabbix/zabbix-proxy-sqlite3:ubuntu-5.2-latest (I've also tried the alpine based image).
The motherboard in question is an Asrock Rack board - I've set up IPMI access and checked it with ipmitool which works just fine using the lanplus protocol. I have set IPMI Pollers to 1 in the Docker container, and have set the Debug Level to 4. I can confirm that there is an attempt to communicate with the IPMI interface, but whenever it tried, it ends up with:
The username and password configured in the Zabbix UI work fine in ipmitool I have tried most Authentication Algorithms including Default, None, MD5 and RCMP+ (I can see mention of RCMP+ and MD5 configured in ipmitool output but can provide further feedback and information if anyone can provide me with more specific commands).
I've search the forums as far as I can, and there seem to be many much older posts which describe issues with certain versions of OpenIPMI (and it not being compiled with SSL support) - is this still and issue with the 5.2 release?
Happy to provide more information and debugging as required - I'm a bit lost at the moment and don't know where to look next to resolve this.
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
James
