I think the cleanest way to do this is to implement that in the ipmi
plugin directly. Some configuration options, such as
  NotifySensorAdd    true|false
  NotifySensorRemove true|false
could be used to tell the plugin to (not) send notifications when it
finds new sensors or if sensors are removed.
