freeipmi collector? #176

Closed filippog closed 5 months ago

filippog commented 1 year ago

Hi, I've been using ipmitool collector and I've found an issue where ipmitool sensor is slow to run locally (long timeouts for sensors not found) while ipmi-sensors (from freeipmi) works well. A new collector adapted from the existing ipmitool one is easy enough to do, would you be interested in such a collector? I'm happy to send a PR if that's the case

Given that there is already https://github.com/prometheus-community/ipmi_exporter, which uses freeipmi, and can probe both local and remote hosts, I think that yet another subtle variant would be redundant.

I see where you are coming from re: subtle variant. As a user, ipmi_exporter is certainly more powerful/capable and a whole lot more work to deploy too, especially when compared to the simplicity of ipmitool collector. At any rate, since there doesn't seem to be interest please feel free to close the issue.

I've included the code I'm using here: https://gist.github.com/filippog/b38efdf5db3be2c7ebb05f9398d3f7ea for folks that might come here in search of a similar solution

thank you !
