Hello,

we have a problem adding an IPMI sensor Error PE127 to an Intel server.

When running the command Ipmiutil.exe health -n IPADRESS - U USER -P PASSWORD the message

What can we do to make the sensor work?

What is the error you get on PRTG when adding the sensor? It seems like the target device is currently using IPMIv2, this leads to an unexpected return value, since IPMIv2 is not currently supported by the sensor. The sensor should work with an older IPMI version.

Adapting the sensor to IPMI 2.0 is already in our backlog. Unfortunately, I cannot give you an ETA at this point in time.
