Hi Florian, Assuming you're using a modern version of FreeIPMI, the "ipmimonitoring" command that comes with FreeIPMI simply points to ipmi-sensors with some specific options set. That was a legacy decision, and perhaps I should revisit that as it might cause confusion.
So the behaviors might have subtle differences. So lets just concentrate on the ipmimonitoring-sensors.c output. Lets start by setting: int ignore_non_interpretable_sensors = 1; to 0, b/c that's probably why sensor 5 isn't showing up. Basically, this configuration says "if you can't come up with NORMAL, WARNING, CRITICAL for this sensor, don't output it". I don't think there are any "current" rules for determining normal vs warning vs critical (see freeipmi_interpret_sensors.conf). As for the output of sensors 8 & 9, I'm betting there might be a bug in the ipmimonitoring-sensors.c since discrete_reading is sort of an oddball case. I'll take a look later on, but lets start with sensor #5.
