Package: freeipmi-tools Version: 0.7.17~beta2-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm using a Nagios plugin to monitor IPMI sensors that calls 'ipmimonitoring'. Unfortunately, on some systems I get false critical alerts like this: | Record_ID | Sensor Name | Sensor Group | Monitoring Status| Sensor Units | Sensor Reading | 19 | iDRAC6 Ent PRES | Entity Presence | Critical | N/A | 'Entity Absent' or on another system | 46 | Presence | Entity Presence | Critical | N/A | 'Entity Absent' | 48 | Presence | Entity Presence | Critical | N/A | 'Entity Absent' | 49 | Presence | Entity Presence | Critical | N/A | 'Entity Absent' | 59 | iDRAC6 Ent PRES | Entity Presence | Critical | N/A | 'Entity Absent' Using 'ipmitool sdr elist' these are not reported with critical status: | iDRAC6 Ent PRES | 70h | ok | 7.1 | Absent | iDRAC6 Upgrade | 77h | ns | 7.1 | Disabled or on the other system | # ipmitool sdr elist | grep -i -E '(drac|pres)' | Presence | 50h | ok | 3.1 | Present | Presence | 51h | ok | 3.2 | Absent | Heatsink Pres | 52h | ok | 7.1 | Present | Presence | 54h | ok | 10.1 | Absent | Presence | 55h | ok | 10.2 | Absent | Presence | 56h | ok | 26.1 | Present | USB Cable Pres | 59h | ok | 7.1 | Present | Riser1 Pres | 5Ch | ok | 7.1 | Present | Status | 60h | ok | 3.1 | Presence detected | iDRAC6 Ent PRES | 70h | ok | 7.1 | Absent | iDRAC6 Upgrade | 77h | ns | 7.1 | Disabled | Drive | 80h | ok | 26.1 | Drive Present These Dell systems do have iDRAC6 Express, not Enterprise.
