With this plugin the hardware status of a server can be monitored with Nagios, Icinga or Icinga 2. Specifically, fan speeds, temperatures, voltages, power consumption, power supply performance, etc. can be monitored.
- Nagios, Icinga or Icinga 2
- FreeIPMI version 0.5.1 or newer
- Perl
- Perl IPC::Run
For detailed information, installation instructions and definition examples, please go to:
Copy this plugin to the following folder:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ipmi_sensor
Install missing lib:
apt-get install libipc-run-perl freeipmi
Install missing lib:
yum install perl-IPC-Run freeipmi
Install missing lib:
zypper install perl-IPC-Run3 freeipmi
If you are running the plugin locally and not via network, the user 'nagios' or 'icinga' needs root privileges for calling:
- ipmimonitoring/ipmi-sensors/ipmi-sel/[ipmi-fru]/[ipmi-dcmi]
You can achieve that by adding a sudoers config (e.g. for ipmi-sensors and user 'nagios')
nagios ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors, /usr/sbin/ipmi-sel, /usr/sbin/ipmi-fru, /usr/sbin/ipmi-dcmi
Please check with '-vvv' which commands are run by the plugin!
If you want to clear the ipmi system event log, please use ipmi-sel.
/usr/sbin/ipmi-sel -h $IP -u ADMIN -p $PW -l ADMIN --clear
/usr/sbin/ipmi-sel --clear
