Hi Thoralf,
Is Observium able to reach the BMC? Are the login details correct? Is the user's user level in the controller set to the correct type, for it to be able to access the sensors.
Run the poller with debug to see what is returned by ipmitool.
ESXi/vSphere use the IPMI chip locally, not via the network.

Dear Observium community,
is there any description of using hardware sensors?
I've following issue. I'm operating a HP server with an Ilom under Ubuntu Linux. I configured in the device properties for ipmi: IPMI Hostname (IP address of the Ilom), IPMI Username (as configured at Ilom) IPMI Password, IPMI Userlevel (User) IPMI Interface (IPMI v2.0 RMCP+LAN Interface). Observium rekognized the sensors for temperature und fan speed. I did the same at an other HP server (same type) which is running ESXi 6.5 (HP customized Image). The Sensors are shown in the vSphre-Client and ESXi empeded host client UI. But for this host, Observium does not rekognize the sensors.
How can this be explained ?
Thanks.
Lg.
