The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available and will also build `freeipmi.plugin`. +> ❗ In some distributions `libipmimonitoring.pc` is located in an unregistered directory. +> In that case you should find the file and link it to the standard pkg-config directory.

If you just installed the required IPMI tools, please run at least once the command `ipmimonitoring` and verify it returns sensors information. This command initialises IPMI configuration, so that the Netdata plugin will be able to work. diff --git a/collectors/freeipmi.plugin/freeipmi_plugin.c b/collectors/freeipmi.plugin/freeipmi_plugin.c index e9702e785..0141a6a78 100644 --- a/collectors/freeipmi.plugin/freeipmi_plugin.c +++ b/collectors/freeipmi.plugin/freeipmi_plugin.c @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ * UCRL-CODE-222073 */ -#include "../../libnetdata/libnetdata.h" +#include "libnetdata/libnetdata.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> |
