= Munin sensor statistics with freeipmi =

== About ==
The [source:freeipmi_] plugin allows the [http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ munin] monitor to graph temperature and fanspeed statistics of servers. These measurements are retrieved from the baseboard management controller via IPMI using the [http://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/ freeipmi] tools.

== Download ==
[https://trac.bawue.org/munin/browser/freeipmi_?format=txt freeipmi_]

== Installation ==
  1. 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.
  1. Configure the munin-node to run the freeipmi_ plugin as user root or another user able to execute the freeipmi binaries:
{{{
[freeipmi_]
user root
}}}
  1. 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.
  1. Restart the munin-node process.
