ipmi configuration

Hi,

I am trying to use the IPMI plugin to collect all the sensors except the current sensor. I enabled the IPMI plugin and started collectd. But I don't know how to find out if the IPMI plugin is running? I don't see any rrd files created by it in my rrdfile directory.

Could you please help to see if there is anything wrong with my configuration. Here is the configuration of ipmi in /etc/collectd.conf file:

LoadPlugin ipmi

Sensor "current"

IgnoreSelected true

NotifySensorAdd false

NotifySensorRemove true

NotifySensorNotPresent flase

</Plugin>

Thanks,

Jie Zhang

Re: ipmi configuration

Using the same ipmi configuration, I setup the logfile plugin and got the following errors in my logfile:

[2009-12-03 11:10:59] ipmi plugin: ipmi_smi_setup_con failed: No such file or directory

[2009-12-03 11:10:59] ipmi plugin: thread_init failed.

Could anyone let me know what is missing here?

Thanks!

Jie

Re: ipmi configuration

Thank you, that was a typo. But I still get the same error message in my logfile after I changed it. I tried collectd version 4.7.2 and 4.8.1, and got the same error in both logs.

Am I missing any libraries required by IPMI? I installed the following RPM packages on my CentOS:

OpenIPMI-2.0.16-5.el5_4.1
OpenIPMI-devel-2.0.16-5.el5_4.1
OpenIPMI-libs-2.0.16-5.el5_4.1
ipmiutil-2.0.2-1.el5.rf

Re: ipmi configuration

Sorry i have no RPM based systems here.

Is ipmi really working, can you see some values with a tool?

Here in debian/ubuntu i use

#> ipmitool sensor

so see some values like

Temp             | 50.000     | degrees C  | ok    | na        | na        | na        | 85.000   
| 90.000    | na
Temp             | 40.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 64.000    | na        | -128.000  | -128.000 
| na        | na
Temp             | 40.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 64.000    | na        | -128.000  | -128.000 
| na        | na
Ambient Temp     | 27.000     | degrees C  | ok    | na        | 3.000     | 8.000     | 42.000   
| 47.000    | na
CMOS Battery     | 0x0        | discrete   | 0x0080| na        | na        | na        | na       
| na        | na

maybe try to add debugging to syslog in collectd.conf

LoadPlugin syslog

<Plugin syslog>
        LogLevel debug
</Plugin>

Re: ipmi configuration

The ipmitool doesn't work on my box. Here is the result of the command ipmitool sensor:

# ipmitool sensor
Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
Get Device ID command failed
Unable to open SDR for reading

I have to figure out what's wrong with it. It looks my OpenIPMI installation on my CentOS box is not right.

Thank you!

Jie

Problem was solved for me by "modprobe ipmi_devintf". Full list of modules:

$ lsmod|grep ipmi
ipmi_devintf            8103  2 
ipmi_si                42687  1 
ipmi_msghandler        36150  2 ipmi_devintf,ipmi_si

It does not work on all motherboards. For example it works on  Intel S5500BC
and Intel S5000PAL, but does not works on Intel SRKA4.
