Best way to monitor IPMI

Hello,

If I have a device that I\'m monitoring via its in-band IP address, how can I also monitor IPMI on its out-of-band IP address from within the same device. I\'d prefer not to a) occupy another device and b) have the data in a separate place, for the same host.

Is there a way to do this..like ipmi.ipaddress ?

    nWe do not support a host property to allow for monitoring of an out-of-band IPMI source. There do appear to be options on both Linux and Windows to allow for pass-through of IPMI functionality to the in-band address, but youre probably already aware of them. They also require software to be running on the host. Let us know if you have more questions about this.n

    nThanks,n
