Configuration files must have names web_conf.yaml and ipmi_local.conf. If ipmi_exporter_local_conf is specified, the role searches for web_conf.yaml and ipmi_local.conf in that directory and copy to target host in ipmi_exporter_config_dir. If the source directory is not specified, the role skips this step. In ipmi_local.conf user can describe what modules to use for metric collection.

ipmi_up{collector=""} is 1 if the data for this collector could successfully be retrieved from the remote host, 0 otherwise.

The following collectors are available and can be enabled or disabled in the config:

ipmi: collects IPMI sensor data. If it fails, sensor metrics (see below) will not be available
dcmi: collects DCMI data, currently only power consumption. If it fails, power consumption metrics (see below) will not be available
bmc: collects BMC details. If it fails, BMC info metrics (see below) will not be available
bmc-watchdog: collects status of the watchdog. If it fails, BMC watchdog metrics (see below) will not be available
chassis: collects the current chassis power state (on/off). If it fails, the chassis power state metric (see below) will not be available
sel: collects system event log (SEL) details. If it fails, SEL metrics (see below) will not be available
sel-events: collects metrics for user-defined events in system event log (SEL). If it fails, SEL entries metrics (see below) will not be available
sm-lan-mode: collects the "LAN mode" setting in the current BMC config. If it fails, the LAN mode metric (see below) will not be available
ipmi_exporter_version: release version of the exporter
ipmi_exporter_config_dir: where to put configuration files
ipmi_exporter_args:
- --[no-]native-ipmi: Use native IPMI implementation instead of FreeIPMI (EXPERIMENTAL)
- --[no-]web.systemd-socket: Use systemd socket activation listeners instead of port listeners (Linux only).
ipmi_exporter_log_level: "info" # Only log messages with the given severity or above. One of: [debug, info, warn, error]
ipmi_exporter_log_format: "logfmt" # Output format of log messages. One of: [logfmt, json]
ipmi_exporter_web_listen_address: Addresses on which to expose metrics and web interface. Repeatable for multiple addresses.
- :9100 or [::1]:9100 for HTTP
- vsock://:9100 for vsock
ipmi_exporter_local_conf: (optional) Path to local configuration file. See: https://github.com/prometheus-community/ipmi_exporter/blob/master/docs/configuration.md
ipmi_exporter_web_conf: (optional) Path to web configuration file that can enable TLS or authentication. See: https://github.com/prometheus/exporter-toolkit/blob/master/docs/web-configuration.md
