Problem with cumulative power monitoring #82

AlexanderAmelkin · 2017-05-23T18:05:42Z

Reported by: marcioprado
Original Ticket: ipmitool/bugs/487

I created an application using ipmitool to monitor the power consumption of servers.

The basic command is: ipmitool -I lanplus -H $ IP -U $ USER -P $ PASSWORD delloem powermonitor

The problem is when the energy reaches, for example, 46.9 kWh.

After that the command does not return 46.91 but 46.1 ...

Causing error in monitoring ...

Can someone help me?

HI Marcio,

can you provide o/p for this command

ipmitool.exe -I lanplus -H ip -U user -P password raw 0x30 0x9c 0x07 0x01,
can you eaplain how you are converting raw values.

Hi Mareedu Srinivasa Rao, thanks for the attention

The return of the command is this:

f6 f7 82 54 39 19 01 00 f6 f7 82 54 99 1d 83 54
0c 00 99 1d 83 54 ce 00

The application is not doing any conversion.

I'm only making a filter, to get only the accumulated consumption, before inserting into the DB:

Ipmitool -I lanplus -H $ IP -U $ USER -P $ PASSWORD delloem powermonitor | Awk '$ 1 ~ / Reading / {print $ 3}'

Follow the prints with the measurements. You may notice that:

First measurement 63.9 kWh;
Second measurement 63.10 kWh;
Third measurement 64.0 kWh;
And the last 64.1 kWh.

The floating point is ranging from 0 to 10 instead of varying from 0 to 9 ...

Hi Mareedu Srinivasa Rao,

Here are all the raw answers.

It started at 94.6 kWh and finished at 95.7 kWh.

Thanks again.

Thank you very much,

Sorry for my ignorance, but where do I apply this patch?

On iDRAC, or Linux?

Sorry, I just saw it here.

I have to apply this path in the source code of the ipmitool application ...

Thank you.

AlexanderAmelkin · 2017-08-28T12:40:21Z

I applied the path, compiled, and installed the application.

But it did not solve, only increased the decimal places ... But the problem persists.

Can someone help us?

appreciate if you put ipmitool o/p for the above graph.

There's still the same problem.

According to ipmitool, 5.2 is less than 5.101, but it is not quite the reality ...

5.2 should be greater than 5,101 ...
