IPMI Management Board: Sensors

This check uses the information of sensors provided via IPMI. The current management board monitoring reports states about all available fans, temperature sensors and power supplies.

Note that IPMI provides four states: 'ok', 'non-critical', 'critical' and 'non-recoverable'. The default Checkmk behaviour is to map 'ok' to OK, 'non-critical' to WARN and 'critical' and 'non-recoverable' to CRIT. However, some manufacturers choose to display both 'ok' and 'non-critical' as normal on their provided tools. If you want Checkmk to behave similarly, you can set up a corresponding "Service State Translation" rule.

Item

Discovery
