Hi there, so I'm trying to use IPMI tool to retrieve information from my HP ILO on the machine. I run
Bash:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.0.240 -U nucker -P mypass sdr list
and this runs fine on every other machine in my house. However running it on my server (both in an LXC container and on the bare machine) it times out. I can also not curl the dashboard. Any ideas why I cannot access it?
 
hi,

it sounds like a networking problem (if you can't curl the dashboard).

though from the host you should be able to see the IPMI device in /dev/ipmi0.
if it's there, then maybe you can execute something like: ipmitool -d 0 sdr list

hope this helps!
 
I can see all the sensors! How can I use this with IPMI telegraf?
i'm not sure, but it looks like if you configure the telegraf without any server for IPMI it should query the local device
 
You don't know how I would go about configuring it like this
you would have to check the telegraf documentation for that
