    Replace lovoo/ipmi_exporter by soundcloud/ipmi_exporter (#1029) · 50084b8f
    Björn Rabenstein authored
    Frankly, I would prefer to list both as they have quite different
    approaches. Lovoo's exporter runs on the IPMI-supervised host and uses
    the `dev/ipmi0` device to server metrics. This is straight-forward but
    doesn't work if the host is powered down. However, in some secnarios,
    it's the whole point of IPMI to be able to work with machines while
    they are powered down or stuck in the boot process. If you need
    metrics in those scenarios, too, the SoundCloud exporter works
    better. It uses the blackbox exporter approach and is thus (arguably)
    a tad more complicated to set up.
    
    If I _had_ to choose one and only one IPMI exporter, I would pick the
    SoundCloud one as it covers all scenarios.  Since @brian-brazil
    insisted so far to only ever list one solution for a certain thing to
    export, this commit _replaces_ the Lovoo exporter by the SoundCloud
    exporter.
