[RFE] Collect CUPS data via get_sensors periodic task

[Grzegorz Grasza]

Ironic should be able to collect Intel Node Manager CUPS data

"""
As Ironic user, I need to get CUPS data through notification system. Ceilometer has implementation of Intel Node Manager, which already collects CUPS data:
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ceilometer/_modules/ceilometer/ipmi/platform/intel_node_manager.html

I think there should be an option to enable CUPS sensor data in Ironic, for example:

send_sensor_data_types = CUPS

so CUPS sensor data will be sent to message queue.

Right now only SDR data is available – send_sensor_data calls ipmitool with these arguments:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.44.108 -L ADMINISTRATOR -U root -R 12 -N 5 -f /tmp/tmp7CBirF sdr -v
"""

I think we should add a modification to the current native IPMI driver or add a new driver for that specific task.

One of the causes of suggesting it here is that some BMCs limit the concurrent amount of queries to 2, so using an additional service (like ceilometer) which runs independent IPMI queries brakes the setup.

Ironic deploys a locking mechanism which limits the concurrent queries.

I've properly marked this bug as an RFE, additionally, I'd added the `needs-spec` label which means you need to submit a spec here http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic/dev/code-contribution-guide.html#ironic-specs-process and have it approved before this RFE can be approved.

Thanks!
