Munin sensor statistics with freeipmi
About
The freeipmi_ plugin allows the munin monitor to graph temperature and fanspeed statistics of servers. These measurements are retrieved from the baseboard management controller via IPMI using the freeipmi tools.

Installation
- Copy or link the freeipmi_ script into your munin-node plugin directory, usually /etc/munin/plugins. This is a wildcard plugin so the name should either be freeipmi_temp or freeipmi_fan depending on what you plan to measure.
- Configure the munin-node to run the freeipmi_ plugin as user root or another user able to execute the freeipmi binaries:
[freeipmi_] user root
- Test the plugin by calling munin-run freeipmi_temp config and by executing munin-run freeipmi_temp. Both commands should output sensible data without failing.
- Restart the munin-node process.
