sensor reading is unavailable

[badrabubker]

Hi, while i was testing this exporter if i run this command on one host ./ipmimonitoring -Q -b --comma-separated-output --output-sensor-state the result would be ...... 32,PS Status,Power Supply,Nominal,N/A,N/A,'OK' and Ipmi exporter will report ipmi_sensor_state{id="32",name="PS Status",type="Power Supply"} 0 which is totally fine and correct however on some old BMC's running the command : ./ipmimonitoring -Q -b --comma-separated-output --output-sensor-state will give 1813,PS Status,Power Supply,N/A,N/A,N/A,'Presence detected' 'Unrecognized Event = 0100h' 'Unrecognized Event = 0200h' 'Unrecognized Event = 0400h' 'Unrecognized Event = 0800h' 'Unrecognized Event = 1000h' 'Unrecognized Event = 2000h' 'Unrecognized Event = 4000h' and thus ipmi exporter will report ipmi_sensor_value{id="1813",name="PS Status",type="Power Supply"} NaN in this case the Presence detected in the event column tells that PSU plugged in and works my goal is to monitor PSU's and write alerting rules for them could you please check also the event column somthing like : collector.go #396:

              case "N/A":
            log.Debugf("Sensor reading is N/A checking event")
            if strings.Contains(data.Event, "Presence detected") || strings.Contains(data.Event, "OK") {
                log.Debugf("Event has 'Presence detected' or 'OK' setting to nominal")
                state = 0
            } else {
                state = math.NaN()
            }

i will submit a merge request soon Thanks in advance
