Ipmi-sensor

Script that use the Intelligent Platform Management Interface(IPMI) to monitor multiple sensors of a machine like Temperature, Fan speed, ...

Requirements

• python >= 3.5
• pymongo

Usage

• python3 ipmi_sensor.py -s SENSOR_NAME -i SENSOR_ID -f FREQUENCY --output_uri MONGODB_URI --output_db DB --output_collection COLLECTION

with FREQUENCY : time in seconds between each measure (default 1)

How to retrieve SENSOR_NAME and SENSOR_ID

Use the following command : sudo ipmitool sdr elist if will print you a table with the following format :

SENSOR_NAME| SENSOR_ID| ... | ... | current sensor value

example

How to monitor the CPUs temperature on a machine from the chiclet cluster (two cpus). the two sensors are named Temp and their id are 01h and 02h. 3 seconds between each measure :

sudo python3 ipmi_sensor.py -s 'Temp' -i 01h -s Temp -i 02h --output_uri "mongodb://localhost" --output_db testdb --output_collection testcol -f 3

Docker usage

if you use this script in a docker container, you have to make the ipmi device accessible to your container. Run your container with the option --device=PATH_TO_IPMI_DEVICE

Path to ipmi device are usually : /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0
