Zabbix Threshold Sensors monitoring

Monitoring of auto-discovered IPMI threshold sensors (Temperature, Voltage, Current and Fan types).

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

Triggers will be created for each discovered sensor, according to their advertised lower and upper non-critical, critical and non-recoverable thresholds.

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_Threshold_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 Threshold Sensors

IPMI template for thresold based sensors. Currently supported sensors are current, fan, temperature and voltage.

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_THRESHOLD_SENSOR_TYPES} (default: Temperature,Voltage,Current,Fan)

Discovery

Threshold based IPMI sensor discovery (`ipmi-sensor-discovery.sh["{$HOST.IPMI.CONN}","{$HOST.IPMI.USER}","{$HOST.IPMI.PASS}", "{$IPMI_THRESHOLD_SENSOR_TYPES}"]`)

Discovers threshold based IPMI sensors (such as Temperature, Fan, Voltage and Current) with the help of the external ipmi-sensor-discovery.sh script.

Trigger Prototypes

High: Sensor {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} below critical threshold ({ITEM.VALUE1} < {#IPMI_SENSOR_LOWER_C}) on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Threshold Sensors:ipmi.threshold-sensor[{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].last()}<{#IPMI_SENSOR_LOWER_C}
```
The IPMI sensor has fallen below it's defined lower critical threshold.
Warning: Sensor {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} below non-critical threshold ({ITEM.VALUE1} < {#IPMI_SENSOR_LOWER_NC}) on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Threshold Sensors:ipmi.threshold-sensor[{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].last()}<{#IPMI_SENSOR_LOWER_NC}
```
The IPMI sensor has fallen below it's defined lower non-critical threshold.
High: Sensor {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} exceeded critical threshold ({ITEM.VALUE1} > {#IPMI_SENSOR_UPPER_C}) on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Threshold Sensors:ipmi.threshold-sensor[{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].last()}>{#IPMI_SENSOR_UPPER_C}
```
The IPMI sensor has exceeded it's defined upper critical threshold.
Warning: Sensor {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} exceeded non-critical threshold ({ITEM.VALUE1} > {#IPMI_SENSOR_UPPER_NC}) on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Threshold Sensors:ipmi.threshold-sensor[{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].last()}>{#IPMI_SENSOR_UPPER_NC}
```
The IPMI sensor has exceeded it's defined upper non-critical threshold.
High: Sensor {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} reached non-recoverable threshold ({ITEM.VALUE1} <= {#IPMI_SENSOR_LOWER_NR}) on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Threshold Sensors:ipmi.threshold-sensor[{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].last()}<={#IPMI_SENSOR_LOWER_NR}
```
The IPMI sensor has reached it's defined lower non-recoverable threshold.
High: Sensor {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} reached non-recoverable threshold ({ITEM.VALUE1} >= {#IPMI_SENSOR_UPPER_NR}) on {HOST.NAME}
```
{Template IPMI Threshold Sensors:ipmi.threshold-sensor[{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].last()}>={#IPMI_SENSOR_UPPER_NR}
```
The IPMI sensor has reached it's defined upper non-recoverable threshold.
