🎀 NAME 🎀

freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf — the config file where you tell FreeIPMI how to feel about your sensors 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so bestie, /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf is the file that defines how IPMI sensors should be interpreted. Periodt. 🫶

IPMI-based sensors specify a number of states/thresholds when they are read. Based on those states/thresholds, libraries and tools like libfreeipmi(3), libipmimonitoring(3) and ipmi-sensors(8) can report whether a sensor reading is "good" or "bad" — and they do that by reporting a NOMINAL, WARNING, or CRITICAL state. Three moods, that's the whole personality. ✨

Each of the states listed below is (hopefully 😭) descriptive enough to describe the state conditions that may be set/unset for each sensor type. For more detailed info on any individual state listed below, go read the IPMI Specification "Sensor and Event Code Tables" — it's giving required reading, ngl. 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. Very detective of it. 🔍

The possible values for all states/thresholds below are:

  • Nominal — signal a Nominal reading if the state/threshold tripped ✨
  • Warning — signal a Warning reading if the state/treshold tripped ⚠️
  • Critical — signal a Critical reading if the 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 mailing list. They're nice, I promise. 💌

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 — collaborative queen behaviour 👑

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". Like, obviously. 💅 But 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 — no cap, it's literally their call. Users are advised to adjust the interpretations below as needed for their machines. Customize your girlies. 🎀

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, then a no-sensor-state condition could indicate a broken sensor. This is highly dependent on the motherboard — iykyk. 🫶

🦋 FORMAT 🦋

The configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file are listed below. House rules:

  • 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.
  • Lines can be continued onto the next using backslash ("\").

🌈 IPMI_Version_Change 🌈

Version Change sensors w/ Version Change specific output states — and whew, these names are LONG. But they're all here, every single one 🫶

  • IPMI_Version_Change_No_Event — defaults to Nominal.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Hardware_Change_Detected_With_Associated_Entity — defaults to Warning.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Firmware_Or_Software_Change_Detected_With_Associated_Entity — defaults to Warning.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Hardware_Incompatibility_Detected_With_Associated_Entity — defaults to Critical.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Firmware_Or_Software_Incompatibility_Detected_With_Associated_Entity — defaults to Critical.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Entity_Is_Of_An_Invalid_Or_Unsupported_Hardware_Version — defaults to Critical.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Entity_Contains_An_Invalid_Or_Unsupported_Firmware_Or_Software_Version — defaults to Critical.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Hardware_Change_Detected_With_Associated_Entity_Was_Successful — defaults to Nominal.
  • IPMI_Version_Change_Software_Or_FW_Change_Detected_With_Associated_Entity_Was_Successful — defaults to Nominal.

🎀 IPMI_FRU_State 🎀

Last little batch of this section: FRU State sensors w/ FRU State specific output states 💜

  • IPMI_FRU_State_No_Event — defaults to Nominal.
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Not_Installed — defaults to Critical.

...mwah, continuing right where we left off with the FRU-state defaults, no cap 🎀

  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Inactive — defaults to Critical.
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Activation_Requested — defaults to Warning.
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Activation_In_Progress — defaults to Warning.
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Active — defaults to Nominal. (iconic, honestly)
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Deactivation_Requested — defaults to Warning.
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Deactivation_In_Progress — defaults to Warning.
  • IPMI_FRU_State_FRU_Communication_Lost — defaults to Critical. 💀

🌈 IPMI_OEM

Bestie, this is the choose-your-own-adventure part of the config. The following configuration options let you set up OEM-specific interpretations — like, your manufacturer did something weird and you get to tell the tool how to read it 🧚

Okay so real talk, and I need you to actually hear this one: you can configure both IPMI_OEM_Bitmask and IPMI_OEM_Value for an identical Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Reading-Type-Code, and Sensor-Type combination. All the interpretation rules for a specific combination get iterated through and the worst resulting sensor state is what comes back — as in Nominal < Warning < Critical. And if no match is found, no sensor state is returned for the OEM sensor reading at all. 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> is lowkey flexible like that — it 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) ✨ — go look, they're right there.

Multiple <Manufacturer-ID> and <Product-ID> pairs can be input separated by commas.

And here's the fun plot twist 🔥: the Event-Reading-Type-Code and Sensor-Type need not be OEM types. They may be non-OEM types, and you can use them to provide interpretation rules for sensors that may be behaving outside the standard of the IPMI specification. Rude of them, but okay, we handle it.

🦋 The two options, bestie

  • IPMI_OEM_Bitmask <Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,... Event-Reading-Type-Code Sensor-Type Sensor-Event-Bitmask State — use this to configure a state interpretation for a specific Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Reading-Type-Code, and Sensor-Type combination, plus a specific bitmask of the Sensor-Event.

The state will be accepted as the sensor interpretation if the inputted bitmask ANDed with the actual sensor event bitmask reading is true. 🫶

And 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, you can configure an OEM interpretation for that exact case by inputting a bitmask of 0x0000. Not me knowing the zero-events trick, iykyk 😌

  • IPMI_OEM_Value <Manufacturer-ID>:<Product-ID>,... Event-Reading-Type-Code Sensor-Type Sensor-Event-Bitmask-Value State — use this one to configure a state interpretation for a specific Manufacturer-ID, Product-ID, Event-Reading-Type-Code, and Sensor-Type combination, plus a specific value for the Sensor-Event-Bitmask.

Here the state will be accepted as the sensor interpretation if the inputted bitmask value is equal to the actual sensor event bitmask reading. Equality, not ANDing — different vibe entirely, don't mix them up 🙈
