Zabbix support IPMI 2.0

Zabbix support IPMI 2.0

I have a machine with ipmi 2.0. If i execute the command:
# ipmitool -H 192.168.0.101 -U MY_USER -P MY_PASSWORD sdr
Authentication type NONE not supported
Authentication type NONE not supported
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Get Device ID command failed
Unable to open SDR for reading

But if i execute the command:
# ipmitool -H 192.168.0.101 -I lanplus -U MY_USER -P MY_PASSWORD sdr

I get the data.

I know the lanplus parameter is to force the ipmitool command to use the 2.0 version of IPMI.

But i can't configure the Zabbix to read this parameters.

Someone has a idea?

Tks,
Déo

I was able evolve a bit,

There are two types of sensors IPMI:
Discrete sensor, which can contain up to 15 possible states;
Sensors that return a numeric numeric readout.

The Zabbix does not support discrete sensor. He show two errors:
item [IPMI Test 2: ipmi.power.meter] Became not supported: discrete sensor is not supported
item [IPMI Test 2: ipmi.power.supply.1] Became not supported: sensor or control "Power Supply 1" @ [IP]: 623 does not exist

This second item exist, but the Zabbix do not know interpret it and could not identify who was a discrete sensor.

It has an open ZBX:

And an unofficial patch:
