Zabbix Module Board Generic Sensors monitoring

Monitoring of auto-discovered IPMI Module/Board sensors (sensor type code 15h) with generic 'digital' discrete values (reading type code 03h).

This template is part of RaBe's Zabbix template and helpers collection.

An external script is used for low-level discovery of the sensors (as Zabbix currently lacks LLD of IPMI sensors).

Usage

Install the IPMI sensor discovery script.
Import the Template_IPMI_Module_Board_Generic_Sensors.xml template into your Zabbix server (click on the Raw button to download).
Add the template to your host (or stack template)
Set the following user macros on your host or template (those are required for the auto discovery to work)
{$HOST.IPMI.CONN} IP address or domain name of your IPMI host
{$HOST.IPMI.USER} IPMI user
{$HOST.IPMI.PASS} IPMI password
Add an IPMI interface to your host
Configure the IPMI parameters of your host
Check if new data arrives

Template IPMI Module Board Generic Sensors

IPMI template for Module/Board sensors (sensor type code 15h) with generic 'digital' discrete values (reading type code 03h).

The {$HOST.IPMI.CONN}, {$HOST.IPMI.USER} and {$HOST.IPMI.PASS} macros have to be set according to your IPMI configuration.

Macros

{$HOST.IPMI.CONN} (default: localhost)
{$HOST.IPMI.PASS} (default: password)
{$HOST.IPMI.USER} (default: admin)
{$IPMI_MODULE_BOARD_SENSOR_TYPES} (default: Module_Board)

Discovery

Module/Board IPMI sensor discovery (`ipmi-sensor-discovery.sh["{$HOST.IPMI.CONN}","{$HOST.IPMI.USER}","{$HOST.IPMI.PASS}", "{$IPMI_MODULE_BOARD_SENSOR_TYPES}"]`)

Discovers module/board IPMI sensors with the help of the external ipmi-sensor-discovery.sh script.

Item Prototypes

Sensor $2 (ipmi.discrete-generic-sensor[module-board,{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}])
IPMI generic 'digital' discrete sensor prototype item for a module/board (sensor type code 15h, reading type code 03h).

Trigger Prototypes

High: Module/Board {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} in critical state on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Module Board Generic Sensors:ipmi.discrete-generic-sensor[module-board,{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].band(#1,2)}=2
```
The IPMI module/board 'digital' generic sensor (sensor type code 15h) is in "State Asserted" (sensor specific offset 01h) state. The second least significant bit = 1 (VALUE & 10 = 10).
