Need driver for hardware watchdog

jimp

Add it into your config.xml

	 <installedpackages>[...]

<menu>
			<name>IPMP Sensors</name>
			<tooltiptext>IPMP Sensors</tooltiptext>
			Diagnostics
			<url>/diag_ipmi-sensors.php</url>
		</menu>

		[...]</installedpackages>

No code hacks, and it'll never go away.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Jimp!!! I'm always learn something new from you :-)

one more question: after adding the item to the config.xml, do i have to reboot or is there a manual way to get the menus reloaded to get the new entry shown?
Thanks again for your help!

jimp

If you just restore the config it may force a reboot. If you edit it in live on the box in the gui, then rm /tmp/config.cache

If you edit it from the console with viconfig, it will do that automatically and should show up next time you refresh the page in the browser.

Another change i did, which is cosmetic:

in the "diag_ipmi-sensors.php" i changed the call of the sensors from

$text = `/usr/local/sbin/ipmi-sensors`

to

$text = `/usr/local/sbin/ipmi-sensors | sed 's/\[Unrecognized\ State\].*/\ /'`;

So the final entry of the ipmi-sensors output doesn't have the multiple "[Unrecognized State]" occurencies which destroy the page-layout. Its a crude hack, but works - with the Supermicro board.

And again thanks jimp for your quick answer to reload the menu! Great! That makes test changes quickly.

Good stuff guys! I have updated my article to raise the hearbeat (although it worked fine for me) and added instructions how to add the diagnostics menu item.

Keep up the good work!

Cino

Thanks for the code change igor!! I've been meaning to play with it as I didn't like the spacing either.

Sorry for being somewhat active the last days, but i did a bit more looking about and ended with this:

$text = `/usr/local/sbin/ipmi-sensors | sed -e 's/\[[^P].*\]*/\[OK\]/' -e 's/\:\ /\:\t/g'`;

it reproduces now the following output:

edit: the regex has an error, it should be this:```
's/[[^PO].*]//' -e 's/:\ /:\t/g'

Nice temperatures indeed. Mine is at about 48 degrees Celsius though it being totally passive cooled without a single fan.
