Hi,

This is great, I didn’t realise that Observium would collate the data from both the OS SNMP daemon and the IPMI’s SNMP daemon!

What are the requirements between the two IP addresses (one for the OS, and one for the IPMI) so ensure that Observium realises they are the same host?

The hostnames cannot be exactly identical obviously as they each need their own unique IP, and configuring the IPMI engine beyond just turning it on and enabling an ACL has limited success.

Thanks, Andy.

Hi Simon,

As Adam said, IPMI can expose additional useful sensor data that servers don't reveal via SNMP - similar to the environmental data that is often returned over SNMP by routers and switches:

Observium collates SNMP and IPMI data from the same server and presents it all via one coherent web interface.

(Hopefully the screenshot image above can be seen)

Hi All

This is going to sound like a complete daft question

But whats the IPMI settings for under the properties of a server?

I understand that IPMI is to restart server remotely, control, etc…

But not sure what information it will get/help with in observium?

Regards

Simon - Hestor
