Louis,
Even if we could do different units for the same entity (which we don't, because showing an aggregate graph of fans doing both rpm and % is impossible), there is no way to know if a "percent" sensor on your BMC is actually a fan, apart from trying to see if the word "Fan" is in the name, but I'm not sure I consider that reliable enough.

Hi Tom,
Sorry for the late answer.
I had the chance to try with Capacity instead of Fanspeed.
But actually I was quick to blame the graphs : they are not that bad once they have settled (see attached).
It just the legend that says “rpm” that is confusing.
They basically provide the same thing as with “Capacity”.
But still, I am not quite sure which way should be preferred.
It make sense to assigned fan sensors to the Fan category.
But at the same time if they are only detected by the “percent” unit they might be confused with another type of sensors.
Is there another way to identify a type of sensors that could be used to confirm that this is a fan ?
Best regards,
Louis

Hi Louis,
Try "capacity" instead of "fanspeed" and let me know how that works for you. :-)
They won't show up as fan sensors though. At least not yet.

Hi all, I have some devices for which the fan speed reported over IPMI is in percent. As the current ipmi_unit is “RPM” they were ignored. Thinking that it could be an easy tweak I just added a definition for percent in includes/definitions/sensors.inc.php $config['ipmi_unit']['percent'] = 'fanspeed'; This makes the detection and polling work but the graphs are messed up as they expect RPMs (kind of make sense eh). I believe that the fan sensors code is not designed to accommodate different units. So I come for advice on how to tackle this one. Is there a sensors that already work with percent ? Below is the output of the ipmi sensors. Yes it shit, and you need to thanks HP for that (especially things like the temperature limit for CPU or reporting the nominal Wattage of a PSU instead of the power consumption …) UID Light | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0180| na | na | na | na | na | na Sys.
