IPMI Configuration

No setup required. The IPMI ingester requires username and password.

Note

We recommend referring to your device’s configuration for best practices on setting up a read-only or restricted user account.

Gravwell Configuration

Install the gravwell IPMI Ingester which collects Sensor Data Record (SDR) and System Event Log (SEL) records from any number of IPMI devices. The configuration file provides a simple host/port, username, and password field for connecting to each IPMI device.

SEL and SDR records are ingested in a JSON-encoded schema. For example:

{
    "Type": "SDR",
    "Target": "10.10.10.10:623",
    "Data": {
        "+3.3VSB": {
            "Type": "Voltage",
            "Reading": "3.26",
            "Units": "Volts",
            "Status": "ok"
        },
        "+5VSB": {},
        "12V": {}
    }
}

{
    "Target": "10.10.10.10:623",
    "Type": "SEL",
    "Data": {
        "RecordID": 25,
        "RecordType": 2,
        "Timestamp": {
            "Value": 1506550240
        },
        "GeneratorID": 32,
        "EvMRev": 4,
        "SensorType": 5,
        "SensorNumber": 81,
        "EventType": 111,
        "EventDir": 0,
        "EventData1": 240,
        "EventData2": 255,
        "EventData3": 255
    }
}
