    IPMI connection error when Item not available

    Hi

    When I monitor a host via IPMI, I get this error:

    IPMI agent item "DIMMA1_Temp" on host "anr1-a-pve01-BMC" failed: first network error, wait for 15 seconds
    Situation
    I've created a new template with all the temperature, fan and voltage sensors from the AST2400 BMC on a Supermicro board.
    This error occurs when I enable all the items from the template. But: at this moment I don't have a RAM module in slots DIMMA1 and DIMMB1.
    • When I enable both items DIMMA1 and DIMMB1, all the other sensors are not read and this error is logged.
    • When I disable both items DIMMA 1 and DIMMB 1, I don't get this error and all other sensors are read.

    Question
    How can I add all possible IPMI items from the BMC module in the template and keep them enabled so that I don't get an error, even when the slots are empty?
    Why? Because I have multiple servers with multiple hardware in them. And I don't want to remember to change these settings when I change hardware in these boxes.

    Thanks a lot
