I’d like to chime in here. I need this too. I have some Fujitsu Primergy Servers where the BMC can only send SNMP traps.
If I add these devices as ping only, they never get polled via IPMI.
If I force add them as snmp devices the discovery/poller will never run the ipmi module, because SNMP is unreachable.
As far as I know IPMI data is not extracted via SNMP so it should be possible to get the data independently from the devices SNMP capability.
Maybe check if the IPMI settings for the device are populated and if yes, then do the IPMI querie even when SNMP is unreachable?
