FREEIPMI_INTERPRET_SEL(5)
🎀 FREEIPMI_INTERPRET_SEL(5) 🎀
okay bestie, so this is the manual for freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf — the config file that tells FreeIPMI how to feel about your system event log entries 💅 like literally the whole personality layer between raw IPMI events and "is this good or bad". buckle up 🦋
✨ NAME ✨
freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf — specify system event log (SEL) interpretation rules 🌸
💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
/etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf defines how IPMI system event log entries should be interpreted. (yes, bestie, that double slash is really in there — copy it exactly, don't come for me 🙈)
So here's the vibe: IPMI system events specify a number of states/thresholds when they're read. Based on those states/thresholds, libraries and tools like libipmimonitoring(3) and ipmi-sel(8) can report whether an event is "good" or "bad" via a report of a NOMINAL, WARNING, or CRITICAL state. and the same event can get a totally different state reported depending on whether it's asserted or deasserted 👀
Each of the states listed below are (hopefully 🙏) descriptive enough to describe the state conditions that may be set/unset for each sensor or event type. For more detailed info 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. iykyk 🔥
Each of the events below may take 1 or 2 of the following states as input:
- Nominal — signal a Nominal reading if event tripped
- Warning — signal a Warning reading if event tripped
- Critical — signal a Critical reading if event tripped
Here's the rule, bestie, write it down 📝 If only one state is listed, that state will be interpreted when the event is asserted or deasserted. If two states are listed, the first state will be interpreted when an event is asserted, and the later one will be interpreted when the event is deasserted. two for one, we love a dual-purpose icon ✨
Not all IPMI sensor types and event types are currently supported. If you would like more to be supported, please e-mail the FreeIPMI mailing list 🫶
The default values selected for individual events 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 "Performance_Met" is normally better than "Performance_Lags". obsessed with that clarity, honestly 👑
BUT — and this is the part where we pay attention 🚨 — 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. no cap, your board is not like other boards 💀
🦋 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 spicy customizable one
Bestie, this is where the vendor chaos lives 💀 These configuration options let you set up OEM system event log events. Interpretation rules for a specific combination of Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, and Record-Type get iterated through, and the worst resulting sensor state is the one returned (i.e. Nominal < Warning < Critical). If nothing matches? No state is returned for the OEM event, periodt.
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 separated 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<Product-ID>pairs can be input separated by commas.
🛠️ IPMI_OEM_Sensor_System_Event_Record
<Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,... Event-Reading-Type-Code Sensor-Type Event-Direction EventData1 EventData2 EventData3 StateIPMI_OEM_Sensor_System_Event_Record can be used to configure a state interpretation for a specific Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Reading-Type-Code, and Sensor-Type combination, and a specific Event-Direction, EventData1, EventData2, and EventData3.
- The Event-Direction field must specify
Assertion,Deassertion, orANY. - Each of the EventData fields must specify a hex byte to match or the keyword
ANYto match anything. - 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.
Ngl this is the "I know my hardware is weird and I'm choosing to embrace it" option 🌸 Use it with intention, bestie.
Like, the last two record types, bestie — the ones for the OEM girlies — and then we're done 💅
IPMI_OEM_Timestamped_Record— the synopsis is literally:
IPMI_OEM_Timestamped_Record <Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,...
Record-Type OEMDATA1 OEMDATA2 OEMDATA3 OEMDATA4 OEMDATA5 OEMDATA6
StateSo IPMI_OEM_Timestamped_Record is the one you reach for when you wanna set up an interpretation for one very specific combo of Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Record-Type, and OEM data. And the vibe check on Record-Type? It has to be a legal record type for OEM Timestamped Records — currently 0xC0-0xDF, no exceptions 🔥. Every single one of the OEMDATA fields has to be either a hex byte to match against, or the keyword ANY if you literally do not care and want it to match anything. Iconic, flexible, slay ✨
IPMI_OEM_Non_Timestamped_Record— and its synopsis goes:
IPMI_OEM_Non_Timestamped_Record
<Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,... Record-Type OEMDATA1 OEMDATA2
OEMDATA3 OEMDATA4 OEMDATA5 OEMDATA6 OEMDATA7 OEMDATA8 OEMDATA9
OEMDATA10 OEMDATA11 OEMDATA12 OEMDATA13 StateSame energy, different record family 🫶 IPMI_OEM_Non_Timestamped_Record configures an interpretation for a specific Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Record-Type, and OEM data combination, except here the Record-Type must be a legal record type for OEM Non-Timestamped Records — currently 0xE0-0xFF ⭐. And yeah, there are thirteen OEMDATA fields this time (we love a glow-up), and every one of them must be a hex byte to match or the keyword ANY to match anything. No cap 💖
