SMBMC
=====
An unofficial Python interface for obtaining metrics from Supermicro BMCs.
The following metrics are accessible:
- Sensor: Temperature, Fan, Voltage, etc.
- PMBus: Power Consumption, Fan, Temperature, etc.
**Note:** This library depends on the BMC web-interface being available.
Usage
-----
::
# smbmc_example.py
from smbmc import Client
# initialise client with connection details
c = Client(IPMI_SERVER, IPMI_USER, IPMI_PASS)
# retrieve session token
c.login()
# obtain sensor metrics
sensors = c.get_sensor_metrics()
# and pmbus metrics
power_supplies = c.get_pmbus_metrics()
# or, retrieve all known metrics
metrics = c.get_metrics()
