Additional

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!

Notes on ipmi-sel

If you want to clear the ipmi system event log, please use ipmi-sel.

Remote machine

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sel -h $IP -u ADMIN -p $PW -l ADMIN --clear

Local machine

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sel --clear
