Ah yeah, if it's not a Linux box that won't help you much.

Do you have the BMC added as a separate device via SNMP as well? I do this with iDRAC but I don't think they have these error counters in the MIB. If they do I'll gladly graph them...

Tom,

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been searching for a custom oid/index that may contain error counters to pull directly from the IPMI. I like the idea of the edac script but these are esx hosts. I’ll keep poking around.

Hi Adam,

We don't poll/scrape the BMC event log and I don't think there's any real plans. However when I implemented IPMI polling I only added voltages/fanspeed/etc but not the binary values which may or may not contain error flags. Unfortunately that's still a big "TBD" ...

However, the unix-agent has an 'edac' script which, if edac-util is installed on the host, will give you graph data on the errors detected (again, provided your chipset is supported).

Yay, all zeroes for me.

(Note that you can't alert on unix-agent application values yet though, but at least you'd have some visibility through Observium)

Hey Observium Team,

 

I am not sure if IPMI on standard SuperMicro mainboards can be scraped for ECC errors and other SEL-type errors? Am I going to have to ship syslog data somewhere and act on it? We just had a DIMM throwing correctable errors but that doesn’t really show up anywhere in IPMI/SNMP as far as I can see, even after checking the SM MIBs.

 

How do others accomplish similar monitoring?
