What is the best way to implement Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) monitoring: ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: internal error?

Question

Monitoring

Hello.
There was a desire to set up data collection with the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) in Zabbix.
Found an article Monitoring HP servers via iLO in Zabbix
I have
Linux zabbixapp01 4.1.12-103.3.8.el7uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Mon Aug 21 17:27:54 PDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
when trying to execute

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib64

I get an error

had to be solved by disabling --without-encryption

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib64 --without-encryption

then executed
make install
completed without errors

I get an error
ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: internal error
How to solve this problem and what are the best options besides monitoring via SNMP?

Answer 1

Configuring data collection by IPMI
Install IPMI
check
in the zabbix server config, enable the collection of IPMI polling
, activate this parameter
StartIPMIPollers=3
Create your own IPMI template for the ILO HP
example . There are groups of data elements in it: Temperature, Voltage, etc. and beyond Data Elements Example Power Example

•	Имя - PS0/P_IN
•	Тип - IPMI агент
•	Ключ - PS0_P_IN
•	IPMI датчик - PS0/P_IN
