Re: [Freeipmi-users] How Do I Interpret on "Name" Field?

[Albert Chu]

Hi Ken,

Argh!  These are the motherboards I hate, where the interpretation
between different sensors on the same motherboard is dependent on the
sensor name (which is an arbitrary string) and not on anything really
programmable (sensor type, event type, etc.).

So others that can upon this problem had to use the
--sensor-state-config-file option.  They would create different
interpretation conf files
(see /etc/freeipmi/freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf for default one) and
use them on different sensors in their scripts.  So hypothetically
something like:

ipmi-sensors --record-ids="69,70" 
--sensor-state-config-file=nominalifasserted.conf

ipmi-sensors --record-ids="71,72,73,74" 
--sensor-state-config-file=nominalifDEASSERTED.conf

(I use --record-ids, but it could be any combination of the options in
ipmi-sensors).

Hope that helps you deal with the problem.  I wish there were a better
way, but it's hard for me to figure out how to handle this issue in a
good way.
