[Freeipmi-users] ipmi-sel output for nagios plugin

[Waltraut Niepraschk]

Hi all,

I'm a newcomer and have not found an answer to my question.

Why is the output of ipmi-sel not complete?
We want to use this to decide if status is critical or not.

With ipmitool it is possible to see, that the "Power Supply" problem is 
deasserted.

Should we use better ipmitool?

Thanks for information
