# Read metrics from the bare metal servers via IPMI

  ## optionally specify the path to the ipmitool executable
  # path = "/usr/bin/ipmitool"

  ## Setting 'use_sudo' to true will make use of sudo to run ipmitool.
  ## Sudo must be configured to allow the telegraf user to run ipmitool
  ## without a password.
  # use_sudo = false
  ##
  ## optionally force session privilege level. Can be CALLBACK, USER, OPERATOR, ADMINISTRATOR
  # privilege = "ADMINISTRATOR"
  ##
  ## optionally specify one or more servers via a url matching
  ##  [username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]
  ##  e.g.
  ##    root:passwd@lan(127.0.0.1)
  ##
  ## if no servers are specified, local machine sensor stats will be queried
  ##
  # servers = ["USERID:PASSW0RD@lan(192.168.1.1)"]

  ## Recommended: use metric 'interval' that is a multiple of 'timeout' to avoid
  ## gaps or overlap in pulled data
  interval = "30s"

  ## Timeout for the ipmitool command to complete. Default is 20 seconds.
  timeout = "20s"

  ## Schema Version: (Optional, defaults to version 1)

  ## Optionally provide the hex key for the IMPI connection.

  ## If ipmitool should use a cache
  ## for me ipmitool runs about 2 to 10 times faster with cache enabled on HP G10 servers (when using ubuntu20.04)
  ## the cache file may not work well for you if some sensors come up late
  # use_cache = false

  ## Path to the ipmitools cache file (defaults to OS temp dir)
  ## The provided path must exist and must be writable
  # cache_path = ""
