BMC health monitoring

[Sui Chen]

Hello Vijay,

I'm not aware of an BMC health monitoring package that is ready to use
out of the box, but it appears we're thinking of similar things --
monitor the BMC health.
I guess there may be multiple parts to this:
1) How does the BMC collect health metrics; this may be similar to
profiling a regular Linux system; actually the list of metrics may be
expanded to anything that may be obtained through Linux profilers, but
the set of metrics that are most important might vary in different
situations.
2) How to get the metric data out of the BMC to the host or some
monitoring entity that oversees a large number of machines; depending
on the connectivity of the BMC it may use different methods.

Thanks,
Sui
