Re: [Monitorix-general] Special characters in IPMI config

[Jordi S. <jo...@fi...>]

Hi,

Thanks for such a detailed and informative email, and glad to know you 
are enjoying Monitorix! :)

I think that the problem is in the label '+12V'. Try to escape the plus 
sign. Just like this:

                 2 = CPU0 VCORE, 3.3V, \+12V, VBAT, 5V

and just let us know.

Thanks.
