How are these different from the existing ipmi plugins? There are two in the main munin distribution, node.d.linux/ipmi_ and node.d/ipmisensor, and a bunch in contrib, some of which are probably old versions of the ones in the main distribution: ./plugins/ipmi/ipmi_ ./plugins/system/ipmisdr ./plugins/sensors/freeipmi_ ./plugins/sensors/ipmisens-v3 ./plugins/sensors/ipmi_fans ./plugins/sensors/ipmitoolsensor ./plugins/sensors/ipmi_therm ./plugins/other/ipmisensors ./plugins/other/ipmisensor

Unless my munin skills are terrible, none of them are about to tell me whether a fan or psu has stopped working. See the "fails" fields in both my plugins.

I've tried adding a "fan1.min" env in order for munin to tell me that fan1 is lower than 1000 rpm but that didn't work. Warnings and criticals only tell me that a fan is spinning faster than x.

It's up to you whether you want to add the plugins or not. I've written them, if anyone else has a use for them then good for them.

ps: I'm of the opinion that ipmi plugins should all be placed in the ipmi directory. All those sensor plugins are useless without a ipmi support on the motherboard.

I wonder why not improve the existing plugins instead of write a complete new one.

There are other ways besides IPMI to get sensor data, such as with lm_sensors.

Didn't really realize that I was allowed to work on other people's plugins like that.
