Is there a way to find out which specific data / sensor types are supported via IPMI on a machine? I get the big list via ipmi-tool -L but many don't return a value for a new machine we just installed.

1are you looking for a list of sensor types supported in your server IPMI? "sensor list" is a common command supported as i knew. – Oct 30 '14 at 15:41

It looks like one can get a reasonable list of available sensors (along with "state", "reading", "units", and "event") by using the --entity-sensor-names param.
ipmi-sensors -h <ip> -u <user> -P -l user -D LAN_2_0 --quiet-cache --sdr-cache-recreate -interpret-oem-data --output-sensor-state --entity-sensor-names
The 'type' column seems to (roughly) correspond to values available using the -L param.
