[collectd] ipmi configuration

[Peter Holik]

Sorry i have no RPM based systems here.

Is ipmi really working, can you see some values with a tool?

Here in debian/ubuntu i use

#> ipmitool sensor

so see some values like

Temp             | 50.000     | degrees C  | ok    | na        | na        | na        | 85.000   
| 90.000    | na
Temp             | 40.000     | degrees C  | ok    | 64.000    | na        | -128.000  | -128.000 
| na        | na

| na        | na
Ambient Temp     | 27.000     | degrees C  | ok    | na        | 3.000     | 8.000     | 42.000   
| 47.000    | na
CMOS Battery     | 0x0        | discrete   | 0x0080| na        | na        | na        | na       
| na        | na



maybe try to add debugging to syslog in collectd.conf

LoadPlugin syslog

<Plugin syslog>
        LogLevel debug
</Plugin>
