Monitor BMC power status of servers and other data using ipmitool.
Devices located in the /Server/BMC device class will automatically start
collecting BMC power status. For devices that are not in the /Server/BMC
device class, a valid BMC IP address must be configured.
Additionally, valid ipmitool username and password credentials must be configured as well. All these configurations are handled through the following zProperties:
| Name | Type | Default | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
zBmcAddress |
Boolean | False | BMC | BMC IP Address |
zIpmiUsername |
String | admin |
IPMI | ipmitool username |
zIpmiPassword |
Password | admin |
IPMI | ipmitool password |
After the ZenPack is installed, configure the zBmcAddress property for a
specific device in the /Server/Linux or /Server/SSH/Linux/NovaHost device
class.
The BMC monitoring template's data source plugin will then use this address to
begin querying the BMC machine for the power status using ipmitool. The default
cycle time is 30 seconds.
A power status indicator similar to the ping status indicator will be displayed in the device's page:
For devices located in /Server/BMC, ipmitool will be used as collection
method for current, voltage, temperature, and power supply data
