ipmitool is a utility to fetch information from devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). This includes servers such as the HP Proliant DL380 G6 which I have at home or practically all Dell servers.

The project can be found at:

Installation

Clone the repository from https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool, then run autoconf, ./configure, make.

A docker image containing this binary can be found at:

Usage

View System Event Logs

Use ipmitool sel elist to show logs.

Clearing System Event Log

Run ipmitool sel clear to clear all SEL logs. This is useful if your machine has an amber light due to a machine check which you wish to clear.

Polling Data

Poll the data from iLO by running ipmitool. An example output is given below.

The data can be parsed then pushed into a logging server.

Troubleshooting

$ autoconf
configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:9: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.ac:38: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL

Fix this by running: 

$ autoreconf -i
