IMPI Status: Critical

[azeddine]

Hello,

I'm using check_ipmi_sensor to check the hardware of servers (FAN, RAID, TEMP, power supply....)

Ihave this status information from servers:

IPMI Status: Critical [DASD Backplane 2 = Critical ("Entity Absent"), DASD Backplane 3 = Critical ("Entity Absent"), ML2 Card = Critical ("Entity Absent")]

but when i use the IMM interface of those servers all is OK.

I don't understand where is the problem.

Thank you in Advance

As this is a custom plugin, the issue may lie there in itself. We'll need a few more things though to try and figure this out -
1. Please upload the plugin for us to review, or provide a link to it.
2. Post your command definition for check_ipmi_sensor

This should help us to see what's going on, and how it's achieving the result.

Hello,

here is the link of the Plugin:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... in/details

The command definition is :

$USER1$/check_ipmi_sensor -H $_HOSTIPMI_IP$ -U $ARG1$ -P $ARG2$ -L USER -v --nosel

we add into the host file "_ipmi_ip a.b.c.d"

Thank you in Advance

Got it, could you please run the plugin over the CLI with a verbose output?

I dug into the code, and it appears to be using a standard IPMI tool to check the status. The verbosity should give us a bit of output, it has three options - [-v|-vv|-vvv]

Hello,

Please find as attachment the result of the command

./check_ipmi_sensor -H 10.0.19.8 -U Admin -P AdmIMM1437 -L user -vvv --nosel
./check_ipmi_sensor -H 10.0.19.8 -U Admin -P AdmIMM1437 -L user -vv --nosel
./check_ipmi_sensor -H 10.0.19.8 -U Admin -P AdmIMM1437 -L user -v --nosel

Thank you in advance

It's hard to say for sure, but it may be event based, and simply polling all of the results. On your output, it is showing the critical result for DASD Backplane 2 & 3 being critical.

Code: Select all

DASD Backplane 1 = 'Entity Present' (Status: Nominal)
DASD Backplane 2 = 'Entity Absent' (Status: Critical)
DASD Backplane 3 = 'Entity Absent' (Status: Critical)

Are you able to clear the IPMI event log, or adjust this? I don't think the issue is with the plugin due to the output.
