You still need SNMP to poll the device.
Once added you can configure IPMI to gather stats from IPMI.

Hi,

From the reading I've done it seems that Observium supports IPMI and I've got a Supermicro motherboard I'd like to get stats from.

However, I can't see any way to configure the device, if I try to add devices it only lets me poll over SNMP, which the Supermicro board doesn't seem to allow. 

Other than stating that you need IPMItools installed, the Observium documentation doesn't provide any details about how IPMI devices should be configured. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Matt
