Zabbix Power Supply Generic Sensors monitoring

Monitoring of auto-discovered IPMI power supplies sensors (sensor type code 08h) 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

1. Install the IPMI sensor discovery script.
2. Import the Template_IPMI_Power_Supply_Generic_Sensors.xml template into your Zabbix server (click on the Raw button to download).
3. Add the template to your host (or stack template)
4. 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
5. Add an IPMI interface to your host
6. Configure the IPMI parameters of your host
7. Check if new data arrives

Template IPMI Power Supply Generic Sensors

IPMI template for power supplies sensors (sensor type code 08h) 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_POWER_SUPPLY_SENSOR_TYPES} (default: Power_Supply)

Discovery

Power supply IPMI sensor discovery (ipmi-sensor-discovery.sh["{$HOST.IPMI.CONN}","{$HOST.IPMI.USER}","{$HOST.IPMI.PASS}", "{$IPMI_POWER_SUPPLY_SENSOR_TYPES}"])

Discovers power supply IPMI sensors with the help of the external ipmi-sensor-discovery.sh script.

Item Prototypes

• Sensor $2 (ipmi.discrete-generic-sensor[power-supply,{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}])
  IPMI generic 'digital' discrete sensor prototype item for a power supply (sensor type code 08h, reading type code 03h).

Trigger Prototypes

• Warning: Power supply {#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME} is in warning state on {HOST.NAME}

  {Template IPMI Power Supply Generic Sensors:ipmi.discrete-generic-sensor[power-supply,{#IPMI_SENSOR_NAME}].band(#1,2)}=2
  

  The IPMI power supply 'digital' generic sensor (sensor type code 08h) is in "State Asserted" (sensor specific offset 01h) state. The second least significant bit = 1 (VALUE & 10 = 10).
