Description
Gives environmental information (temperatures, fans, etc.) on several IPMI-enabled servers in-band and out-of-band.
Target
Typical platform: Any system with IPMI
Operating systems: Linux, Oracle Solaris, Microsoft Windows, Out-of-Band
Prerequisites
Leverages: IPMI
Technology and protocols: IPMI
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:
ipmitool
This connector therefore needs to run as root
or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo
on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the patrol account:
patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ipmitool
Connector Activation Criteria
The IPMI connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:
- The IPMI-related WMI classes are populated on Windows,
- OR
ipmitool
works properly with the local IPMI driver on Linux and Solaris, - OR IPMI-over-LAN has been enabled as an out-of-band interface
