[Feature Request] Support for Discrete Sensors Monitoring with IPMI and Redfish Integration #37
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In current releases, monitoring and alerting for discrete (binary) sensors is limited. For example, sensors like PSU fail, intrusion switches (door open/close), fan status etc. are not well supported, especially in scenarios requiring both IPMI and Redfish protocol integration.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Support for discrete sensor monitoring and alerting.
- Unified sensor state across both IPMI and Redfish (data format mapping).
- Ability to trigger custom actions/events upon state change.
- Successful visualization and API access for discrete sensor data.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Manual polling via IPMItool/Redfish API
- Separate exporter development
Additional context
Discrete sensor health monitoring is essential for automated alerts and system maintenance.
