Thanks a lot (and sorry for the delay). I am not entirely sure that this will not actually cause more confusion by giving folks the impression that they could configure the retransmission timeout in the exporter YAML, but let's see. I will merge this for now, especially since your report made me realize that this little tidbid is not mentioned in man 5 freeipmi.conf
:disappointed: (which is already mentioned in the sample config).
I just had an issue, where the dcmi collector returned:
It was because I set the timeout to
1000
, but this was too low since it has to be greater thanretransmission-timeout
which defaults to 1000: https://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/manpages/man8/ipmi-dcmi.8.htmlThis PR documents this configuration subtlety
