After update to latest version of my-prtg.com, all my IPMI sensor (on 3 clients) are in error. I delete and reconfigure, i execute command ipmiutil.exe health (see output velow) but i receive error: The request has timed out because the sensor is waiting for mutex. For more information, see https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/57133. (code: PE035) What can i do?

Hello Simone,

Does your device use IPMI version 2.0?
If that is the case, I would suggest that you use our Redfish System Health Sensor for the monitoring.

I have the same issue with IPMI. Also Supermicro (X11) I could not get the Redfish Sensor working (always forbidden error). I bought and activated the SFT-OOB-LIC license but still not working.

@Smooth,

I would suggest that you open a support ticket for this issue. Please include screenshots from one of the affected sensors when opening the ticket.

I have the same problem after installing 23.2.83.1760 x64.

Did you find any solution on this ?

We reverted the changes made in the IPMI sensor in the latest PRTG version (23.2.84), which was released yesterday. I would suggest updating PRTG, and check if the IPMI sensors work again.
