# Privileges
|
|
|
|
If you are running the exporter as unprivileged user, but need to execute the
|
|
FreeIPMI tools as root (as is likely necessary to access the local IPMI
|
|
interface), you can do the following:
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** Make sure to adapt all absolute paths to match your distro!
|
|
|
|
1. Add sudoers files to permit the following commands
|
|
```
|
|
ipmi-exporter ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/ipmimonitoring,\
|
|
/usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors,\
|
|
/usr/sbin/ipmi-dcmi,\
|
|
/usr/sbin/ipmi-raw,\
|
|
/usr/sbin/bmc-info,\
|
|
/usr/sbin/ipmi-chassis,\
|
|
/usr/sbin/ipmi-sel
|
|
```
|
|
2. In your module config, override the collector command with `sudo` for
|
|
every collector you are using and add the actual command as custom
|
|
argument. Example for the "ipmi" collector:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
collector_cmd:
|
|
ipmi: /usr/bin/sudo
|
|
custom_args:
|
|
ipmi:
|
|
- "/usr/sbin/ipmimonitoring"
|
|
```
|
|
See also the [sudo example config](../ipmi_local_sudo.yml).
|
|
|
|
Note that no elevated privileges are necessary for getting remote metrics.
