Examples (on a SuperMicro board)

./check_ipmi_simple_sensors.py -H 10.20.49.101 -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -S 'Fan1'
CRITCAL: Fan "Fan1"=0.00RPM (At or Below (<=) Lower Non-Recoverable Threshold) | Fan1=0.00RPM

./check_ipmi_simple_sensors.py -H 10.20.49.101 -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -S 'Fan6/CPU'
OK: Fan "Fan6/CPU"=2100.00RPM (OK) | Fan6/CPU=2100.00RPM

./check_ipmi_simple_sensors.py -H 10.20.49.101 -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -S 'Power Supply'
OK: Power Supply "Power Supply"=OK

./check_ipmi_simple_sensors.py -H 10.20.49.101 -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -S 'Power Supply'
CRITCAL: Power Supply "Power Supply"=State Asserted

Chassis status script

An additional script is available to check epected chassis state

./check_ipmi_simple_chassis.py -H 10.20.49.101 -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -S 'System Power' -E 'on'
OK: System Power is on
