Hi Brandon, I assume you're using this nagios plugin:
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/oss/ipmi-plugin.html There is probably some confusion. The -f option (you list as -F below, I assume you mean -f) is the general FreeIPMI conf file (usually /etc/freeipmi/freeipmi.conf). It's not the config file from ipmi-sensors-config. To deal with your problem, most users configure the script to eliminate sensors they don't want to monitor. It appears the check_ipmi_sensor script has a -x option to remove sensors they don't want to monitor. When calling ipmi-sensors directly, the option is the -R option. Hope that helps, Al On Fri, 2012-07-20 at 11:30 -0700, Brandon wrote: > Hi All, > I would like to know how I can tell check_ipmi_sensors plugin perl script > to update its knowledge of a remote server .

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
