Question regarding IPMI #400

Closed xdkreij closed 10 months ago

xdkreij commented 10 months ago

So I've managed to let the controller.yml do it's thing, to eventually find out 3 services are in failed state;

Following up on that, I've found something else as well in the logs

telegraf[167654]: 2024-01-12T13:30:30Z E! [inputs.ipmi_sensor] Error in plugin: failed to run command "sudo -n /usr/bin/ipmitool sdr": exit status 1 - Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory

Searching for what IPMI exactly is led me to the following statement: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/servers/ipmi/ipmi-home.html

Are there still significant amount of systems that are IPMI capable? Or should this implementation be replaced as advised on the site of intel? e.g. iLO / iDRAC

What's the impact for the trinity setup without IPMI in case of a virtual cluster?

Thanks in advance!

The IPMI plugin in telegraf is enabled by default. Most, or nearly all BMC's are IPMI compatible (iDRAC/iLO/IPMI). Redfish is indeed the future, but IPMI should be sufficient to gather system metrics etc. etc.
