Doc about IPMI (for Dell Server)

Hi everyone,
There is documentation about IPMI on observium ? what the advantage ? benefit ? I have several DELL server with IDRAC and IPMI and only monitored my server with SNMP.
Have a good day.

Hi,
It adds additional sensor metrics (temperature, fan, DIMM modules, .) of the host.
We tend to disable this since IPMI can be very slow, it slowed down our polling by a factor 10 almost.
Kind regards

I agree with Stef -- I have a few servers with IPMI and they take the longest to poll. Anywhere from 30-67 seconds compared to other servers, 0.82 seconds to 13 seconds.
