ILO monitoring with Zabbix

ILO monitring can be done via ipmi checks, you need to install freeipmi on linux: yum install freeipmi

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -D LAN2_0 -h 192.168.0.7 -u administrator -p PASSWORD -l USER -W discretereading –no-header-output –quiet-cache –sdr-cache-recreate –comma-separated-output –entity-sensor-names

when you ensure that ipmi is enabled on your server, and basic check is working, lets go to zabbix and set it up.

In Zabbix create a host with ipmi interface, and in IPMI tab setup the parameters, bellow are screenshots
