IPMI (ILO) Sensors to Domoticz

[FireWizard]

Hello,

I have planned a new project.

Some servers, like the HP MicroGen 8 and 9, have a so called ILO interface, which gives the possibility to monitor various sensors.

Has anyone already tried to get these in Domoticz or is anyone interested to have this implemented.
Anyone ideas?

I see in OpenHab and Home Assistant some activities, but I can't find anything in Domoticz

Regards

Yep I implement readings from my IPMI enabled Asus Server motherboard.

I just use a bash script to get the readings into Domoticz, due to the number of different systems I don't think we need any plugins for it.

Just use a script to get the readings imported.

Maybe you've found something already, but I've created a script for my ILO4 interface here at home.
I use the following python module: https://github.com/seveas/python-hpilo
I've created the following script to get some temperature data from my server (not the fanciest, but it works):

HI,

I finally found the time and opportunity to finish this project.

I wanted (some of) the temperature sensors of my two HP ProLiant Micro Servers GEN 8 send to Domoticz

I took @cryonic90 python script and modified it, so that it could read the sensors from the ILO interface,
This script is based on https://github.com/seveas/python-hpilo

The steps are as follows:

1. Install python-hpilo

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-hpilo

Optional:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-hpilo-doc
sudo apt-get install fonts-roboto

Full documentation can be found here: http://seveas.github.io/python-hpilo/

2. Next step was the download the ZIP file ilo_data.zip

This file needs some modifications, which depends on the temperatures, you want to monitor and how they are named.
See the example below:

In this case you will find the exact sensor names in the column, marked "Sensor". In totally 9 sensors.
This maybe different for other servers.

You need to modify the following to your personal settings:

1. ilo_ip (between ' ')
2. user, HP default Administrator (between ' ')
3. password, as on the attached label (between ' ')
4. the second field between [ ] should match the name of the temperature sensors. See picture above.
5. IP address of your Domoticz server and IDX for the created virtual sensors in the "requests.get(...." line.

The file has been installed in ~/domoticz/scripts/python directory.

If the script runs without errors, you can create a cronjob, in order to run the script periodically.
