IPMI not workins

[kbz]

Hello,
I am unable to use zabbix with ipmi.
but works fine with command line.
"ipmitool -I lanplus -C 3 -H xx.xx.xx.xx -U test -P test sensor"

server side:
version of zabbix:
zabbix_server (Zabbix) 3.0.0beta2
i compile it with -–with-openipmi

host side to monitor:
RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
Cipher Suite Priv Max : XXXaaaXXaaaXaaa
: X=Cipher Suite Unused
: c=CALLBACK
: u=USER
: o=OPERATOR
: a=ADMIN
: O=OEM

Zabbix front-end:
/configuration/hosts/ipmi
Authentication algorithm: I don't know what to choose ? with ipmitool i choose the 3rd cypher (-C 3) . Currently i set it to RMCP+
Privilege level: I choose Admin, "test" user got admin privilege on host.

I create item to monitor:
Type : IPMI agent
Host interface : xx.xx.xx.xx :623
IPMI Sensor : P1_TEMP_SENS (which exist on host side)


IPMI Flag is red , with tooltip : "Cannot connect to IPMI host: [33554449] unknow error 33554449"

Any clue ?

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for the reply .

I have already built openipmi with ssl but was 2.0.16.
I did the same with 2.0.18 version, build zabbix source with --with-openipmi flag.

i choose RMCP+ / Admin, and got the same probleme :
IPMI Flag is red , with tooltip : "Cannot connect to IPMI host: [33554449] unknow error 33554449"

here are some logs config seems ok:

running follwing works:
ipmitool -I lanplus -C 3 -H xx.xx.xx.xx -U test -P password sensor

Am i missing something or ?

[michael.weber]

can you try this:
ipmitool -H <HOST>-U <USER> -P <PASSWORD> -L User -I lanplus sdr

do you get a valid Output?

[kbz]

yes, i got a list of sensors with their values and status

[michael.weber]

mhh strange.
if that command works, the ipmi on zabbix worked for me, too.

could you delete and clear the host on and add it again?
do you get any other Errors? or still

14337:20160205:101853.570 Item [h_vm:itemKey] error: cannot connect to IPMI host: [33554449] Unknown error 33554449

Finally i found the issue, in fact i dind't watch carrefuly the output of configuration when i configure openipmi source (./configure --with-openssl)

it produces a lot of checkings and that's why ipmi didn't work with zabbix.

watch out of these line , they should be "yes"

...
checking openssl/crypto.h usability... no
checking openssl/crypto.h presence... no
...

for that, i installed package libssl-dev & all runs perfectly.
(OpenIPMI-2.0.21 & Zabbix 3.0.0rc1 under debian 8.2, host ipmi cisco c)

hope that will help others.

Thanks michael.weber for your replies .

[michael.weber]

i am happy that you solved it
