[Freeipmi-users] Bridging sensor threshold requests

[Craig]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has worked out a patch to extend ipmi-sensors to
extract threshold settings from sensors that are not local to the BMC (i.e
across an IPMB bridge).

The "-b" option provides a means to get the sensor readings, but if you ask
for the verbose output (-v) or explicitly request threshold output
(--output-sensor-thresholds), the output stops as soon as it encounters an
error trying to read the threshold values for a non-local sensor.

Looking at the code, it seems like there needs to be a parallel function to
"ipmi_cmd_get_sensor_reading_ipmb()" that retrieves the threshold values as
well.  e.g. ipmi_cmd_get_sensor_thresholds_ipmb()

I had a look at the code, and it seems non-trivial to accomplish this for
someone unfamiliar with the code and API.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Craig
