Template Server Chassis by IPMI
Overview
For Zabbix version: 5.0
Template for monitoring servers with BMC over IPMI that work without any external scripts.
All metrics are collected at once, thanks to Zabbix's bulk data collection. The template is available starting from Zabbix version 5.0.
It collects metrics by polling BMC remotely using an IPMI agent.
This template was tested on:
- Zabbix, version 5.0
Setup
You can set {$IPMI.USER} and {$IPMI.PASSWORD} macros in the template for using on the host level.
Zabbix configuration
No specific Zabbix configuration is required.
Macros used
Name | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
{$IPMI.PASSWORD} | This macro is used for access to BMC. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level. |
`` |
{$IPMI.SENSOR_TYPE.MATCHES} | This macro is used in sensors discovery. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level. |
.* |
{$IPMI.SENSOR_TYPE.NOT_MATCHES} | This macro is used in sensors discovery. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level. |
invalid |
{$IPMI.USER} | This macro is used for access to BMC. It can be overridden on the host or linked template level. |

Triggers
Name | Description | Expression | Severity | Dependencies and additional info |
---|---|---|---|---|
IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value has changed | The trigger is informing about changes in a state of the discrete IPMI sensor. A problem generated by this trigger can be manually closed. |
{TEMPLATE_NAME:ipmi.state_text[{#SENSOR_ID}].diff()}=1 |
INFO | Manual close: YES |
IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is below non-critical low (less than {#SENSOR_LO_WARN} for 5m) | The trigger is informing that a value less than the lower non-critical threshold has been reached. |
{TEMPLATE_NAME:ipmi.value[{#SENSOR_ID}].min(5m)}<{#SENSOR_LO_WARN} |
WARNING | Depends on: - IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is below critical low (less than {#SENSOR_LO_CRIT} for 5m) - IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is below non-recoverable low (less than {#SENSOR_LO_DISAST} for 5m) |
IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is below critical low (less than {#SENSOR_LO_CRIT} for 5m) | The trigger is informing that a value less than the lower critical threshold has been reached. |
{TEMPLATE_NAME:ipmi.value[{#SENSOR_ID}].min(5m)}<{#SENSOR_LO_CRIT} |
HIGH | Depends on: - IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is below non-recoverable low (less than {#SENSOR_LO_DISAST} for 5m) |

DISASTER | |
IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is above non-critical high (greater than {#SENSOR_HI_WARN} for 5m) | The trigger is informing that a value higher than the upper non-critical threshold has been reached. |
{TEMPLATE_NAME:ipmi.value[{#SENSOR_ID}].min(5m)}>{#SENSOR_HI_WARN} |
WARNING | Depends on: - IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is above critical high (greater than {#SENSOR_HI_CRIT} for 5m) - IPMI: {#SENSOR_ID} value is above non-recoverable high (greater than {#SENSOR_HI_DISAST} for 5m) |

Feedback
Please report any issues with the template at https://support.zabbix.com
You can also provide feedback, discuss the template or ask for help with it at ZABBIX forums.
Known Issues
- Description: If the BMC has a sensor with an empty threshold value, we get the LLD error "Cannot create trigger...".
