Hi,
I've some *very* basic scripts which wrap ipmitool to extract temperatures and so forth (from Sun boxen). I'm in the process of tweaking them, and a few other useful (to me) scripts, for public release in case they're of use to others.
But there's no rocket science involved really. It's essentially running this (in my case):
<bash snippet>
/opt/ipmitool/bin/ipmitool -A password -H $ip -g -I lan -U adminuser - P $pass sensor | grep TEMP | awk '{print $1,$4,$9}' > $BBTMP/temp.$host
cpu_temp=`grep CPU $BBTMP/temp.$host | awk '{print $2}'|sed 's/\..*//g'`
</bash snippet>
And then spitting the data down at Hobbit for graphy goodness. However, the format from the above command probably depends on the underlying implementation of IPMI. Whilst I'm a long way from being an IPMI expert, I'd be very surprised if the above stuff, which works fine for x2100's, worked for <insert beige box of choice>.
fwiw, the main other scripts I'm hoping to make available are a very basic hook to process inbound e-mail, and store it up in Hobbit/alert if nothing. Like many others I'm sure, one of the chief reasons for using a monitoring system is 'to cut back on e-mails telling me everything is OK' and the likes, but I never quite really got around to seeing the numbers decline. So a bit of .procmail and perl hackery, and all my cvs/svn commits, batch processes and so forth, pile in in a nice 'backwardly compatible' way :-). The other script is a file watcher of sorts, that I use for checking off-host nightly tar balls have run through, where the file watching capabilities of Hobbit couldn't do what I wanted (yet ;-); and a mysql replication monitor.
btw, anybody know what happened to 'The Shire'?
Regards,
Richard

The good news: i got OpenIPMI working on dell systems running Debian.
The less good: now what ???
Are there any existing scripts in use for calling ipmitool, or some
other poller, and integrating the results into hobbit? I'd like to
start with something simple like temp graphs and RAID health would be
nice. I searched the archives and deadcat for IPMI but got no hits...
If not, i guess i'm going to have to figure out how to call and parse
this myself - a messy proposition. :D
