FREEIPMI_INTERPRET_SENSOR(5) Configuration FREEIPMI_INTERPRET_SENSOR(5)
NAME
freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf - specify sensor interpretation rules
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf defines how IPMI sensors should be interpreted. IPMI based sensors specify a number of
states/thresholds when they are read. Based on those states/thresholds, libraries and tools such as libfreeipmi(3), libipmimonitoring(3)
and ipmi-sensors(8) can report if a sensor reading is "good" or "bad" via a report of a NOMINAL, WARNING, or CRITICAL state.
Each of the states listed below are (hopefully) descriptive enough to describe the state conditions that may be set/unset for each sensor
type. For more detailed information on each of the individual states listed below, please see the IPMI Specification "Sensor and Event Code
Tables". Ipmi-sensors(8) can be used to determine the sensor types and the states/thresholds that exist on a system by outputting very
verbose output and seeing what types of Assertion or Deassertion events are possible.
The possible values for all states/thresholds below are:
Nominal - Signal Nominal reading if state/threshold tripped
Warning - Signal Warning reading if state/treshold tripped
Critical - Signal Critical reading if state/threshold tripped
Not all IPMI sensor types and event types are currently supported. If you would like more to be supported, please e-mail the FreeIPMI mail-
ing list.
The default values selected for individual states/thresholds being tripped are based on best guesses and motherboards being analyzed. If
you think they should be changed, please e-mail the FreeIPMI mailing list to discuss what the defaults should be.
Most default interpretations can be determined quite easily and can meet the needs of most users. For example, a reading of "Perfor-
mance_Met" is normally better than "Performance_Lags". However, some sensors can be ambiguous and depend completely on the manufacturer.
For example, "State_Asserted" vs. "State_Deasserted" are completely at the interpretation of the vendor. Users are advised to adjust the
interpretations below as needed for their machines.
Every group of state conditions below includes a configuration for "No_Event". This is the condition under which no sensor states/events
have occurred or are triggered. Under most conditions, a mapping to "Nominal" is preferred. However, under some circumstances, it may be
useful to report something else. For example, if a sensor on a particular motherboard is required to report a state/event, a no sensor
state condition could indicate a broken a sensor. This is highly dependent on the motherboard.
FORMAT
The configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file are listed below. Each configuration option must be listed on a
separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any amount of whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace.
Comments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be continued on the next using backslash ("").

IPMI_OEM
The following configuration options can be used to configure OEM specific interpretations. Users should be aware that both
IPMI_OEM_Bitmask and IPMI_OEM_Value can be configured for an identical Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Reading-Type-Code, and
Sensor-Type combination. All interpretations rules for a specific combination are iterated through and the worst resulting sensor
state is returned (i.e. Warning < Nominal, Critical < Warning). If no match is found, no sensor state is returned for the OEM sensor
reading. For each of the configuration options below, <Manufacturer-ID> is the numeric IANA manufacturer ID for the manufacturer in
question. The <Product-ID> is one or more numeric IDs representing the manufacturer's product. The <Product-ID> can be listed as a
single numeric number (e.g. 1234), a range of IDs separated by a dash (e.g. 12-20), or a list of specific product IDs separted by a
plus (e.g. 12+19+22). Both the Manufacturer-ID and Product-ID can be found using bmc-info(8). Multiple <Manufacturer-ID> and <Prod-
uct-ID> pairs can be input separated by commas. The Event-Reading-Type-Code and Sensor-Type need not be OEM types. They may be non-
OEM types and used to provide interpretation rules for sensors that may be behaving outside the standard of the IPMI specification.
IPMI_OEM_Bitmask <Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,... Event-Reading-Type-Code Sensor-Type Sensor-Event-Bitmask State
IPMI_OEM_Bitmask can be used to configure a state interpretation for a specific Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Read-
ing-Type-Code, and Sensor-Type combination and a specific bitmask of the Sensor-Event. The state will be accepted as the sen-
sor interpretation if the inputted bitmask ANDed with the actual sensor event bitmask reading is true. As a special case, the
state will be accepted if the inputted bitmask and the actual sensor event bitmask are both 0. In other words, if no events
happened, an OEM interpretation can be configured for this case by inputing a bitmask of 0x0000.
IPMI_OEM_Value <Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,... Event-Reading-Type-Code Sensor-Type Sensor-Event-Bitmask-Value State
IPMI_OEM_Value can be used to configure a state interpretation for a specific Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Read-
ing-Type-Code, and Sensor-Type combination and a specific value for the Sensor-Event-Bitmask. The state will be accepted as
the sensor interpretation if the inputted bitmask value is equal to the actual sensor event bitmask reading.
