[Freeipmi-users] Can't get freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf to work

[Goran Lowkrantz]

I am trying to add the CPU Temp sensors output from our Supermicro servers 
to freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf but I can't get it working. As we have 
quite a few, I would like to get them working so I started with this.

The server I am testing on has a X8DTN+-F motherboard, below is the 
dmidecode output. We are running FreeBSD amd64 8.2-STABLE with FreeIPMI 
1.0.6. All files are in the default location /usr/local/etc/freeipmi

Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes

       Manufacturer: Supermicro
       Product Name: X8DTN+-F

Using bcm-info gives the following output:

So I would expect the id to be 47488:1551

Verbose output of ipmi-sensors for the two sensors:
Record ID: 1277
ID String: CPU1 Temp
Sensor Type: OEM Reserved (C0h)
Sensor Number: 82
IPMB Slave Address: 10h
Sensor Owner ID: 20h
Sensor Owner LUN: 0h
Channel Number: 0h
Entity ID: system board (7)
Entity Instance: 1
Entity Instance Type: Physical Entity
Event/Reading Type Code: 70h
Sensor Event: 'OEM Event = 0000h'

Record ID: 1344
ID String: CPU2 Temp
Sensor Type: OEM Reserved (C0h)
Sensor Number: 81
IPMB Slave Address: 10h
Sensor Owner ID: 20h
Sensor Owner LUN: 0h
Channel Number: 0h
Entity ID: system board (7)
Entity Instance: 2
Entity Instance Type: Physical Entity
Event/Reading Type Code: 70h
Sensor Event: 'OEM Event = 0000h'

This shows the event code as 0x70 and the sensor type as 0xc0.

Here are the lines I have added for the test and these are the only lines 
not commented in the file:

IPMI_OEM_Value 47488:1551 0x70 0xC0 0x0000 Nominal
IPMI_OEM_Value 47488:1551 0x70 0xC0 0x0001 Warning

IPMI_OEM_Value 47488:1551 0x70 0xC0 0x0004 Critical
IPMI_OEM_Value 47488:1551 0x70 0xC0 0x0007 Warning

But I still get this:

Is there any trick that I have just missed to get the config file active?
