ipmi_remote.yml

# Configuration file for ipmi_exporter

# This is an example config for scraping remote hosts via IPMI.
# Information required to access remote IPMI interfaces can be supplied in the
# 'modules' section. A scrape can request the usage of a given config by
# setting the `module` URL parameter.

modules:
  default:
    # These settings are used if no module is specified, the
    # specified module doesn't exist, or of course if
    # module=default is specified.
    user: "default_user"
    pass: "example_pw"
    # The below settings correspond to driver-type, privilege-level, and
    # session-timeout respectively, see `man 5 freeipmi.conf` (and e.g.
    # `man 8 ipmi-sensors` for a list of driver types).
    driver: "LAN_2_0"
    privilege: "user"
    # The session timeout is in milliseconds. Note that a scrape can take up
    # to (session-timeout * #-of-collectors) milliseconds, so set the scrape
    # timeout in Prometheus accordingly.
    # Must be larger than the retransmission timeout, which defaults to 1000.
    timeout: 10000
    # Available collectors are bmc, bmc-watchdog, ipmi, chassis, dcmi, sel,
    # and sm-lan-mode
    # If _not_ specified, bmc, ipmi, chassis, and dcmi are used

    # If you require additional command line arguments (e.g. --bridge-sensors for ipmimonitoring),
    # you can specify them per collector - BE CAREFUL, you can easily break the exporter with this!

    # USING ANY OF THE BELOW VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY! YOU MAY GET BITTEN BY SHARKS!
    # You can override the command to be executed for a collector. Paired with
    # custom_args, this can be used to e.g. execute the IPMI tools with sudo:
    collector_cmd:
      ipmi: sudo
      sel: sudo
    custom_args:
      ipmi:
      - "ipmimonitoring"
      sel:
      - "ipmi-sel"
