Provide only system event log
Opened this issue · 9 comments
Hi Thomas,
it would be nice if we can have a option to specify that only system event log are printed. I'd like to separate Icinga services.
Thanks
Any news on this? Would be great to include or exclude event log
Hi,
thanks for your message. It's still on our agenda, but you can use a tiny tweak to achieve only the output of the SEL. I first executed check_ipmi_sensors with maximum verbosity (-vvv) to get all sensor types (column 3 "Type" in the table with all the sensors) and afterwards I excluded, using the -xT Parameter, these sensor types. So the result was only one line of output with just the SEL information.
--> /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ipmi_sensor -H -U -P -L user -xT Temperature,Voltage,Fan
Maybe you could give this workaround a try, in my tests it was sufficient to exclude this three types of sensors.
Best regards,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
yes, this could be workaround. But I have much more types than those three. And the problem is that, if you exclude a sensor type, that does not exists for a specific server, you get an error like "invalid sensor type". So I need to configure many exceptions...
But for now at least I added --nothresholds to avoid get this many values I dont need.
Hello,
i tried to create patch implementing this function - checking only SEL (--selonly). There's also another option (--seltail) allowing limit number of log messages obtained by ipmi-sel command.
Hope it helps / will be merged sometimes :)
Just to ensure the patch is correct, can you also attach the current complete version of your plugin file?

Here's complete script: check_ipmi_sensor.txt
Thank you @d4nys3k for your files, I have tested it with a Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F, looks good!
./check_ipmi_sensor -H -U -P -L admin --selonly

Verbose output also looks fine (-vvv) with both parameters.
THX @d4nys3k - the patch is rebased and live in the master branch!
All the best, Georg
