IEVENTS(8)

💅 IEVENTS — the ievents manual page, section 8 (system manager's manual, bestie) 💖

okay so welcome to ievents(8), she's a little decoder baddie and I'm obsessed 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ievents — decode IPMI and PET event data 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ievents [-bfhnprsx] 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ievents is a standalone utility delivered with ipmiutil, and her whole thing is interpreting raw hex data from IPMI events or from IPMI PET SNMP trap varbind data 💫 She uses literally the same interpretation logic as "ipmiutil sel" (showsel) and "ipmiutil getevt" (getevents), so you know she's fr fr consistent 👑

The data bytes in the input are always assumed to be in hex form. no cap. that's the vibe. ✨

This could be useful if a utility other than "ipmiutil sel" were used to obtain IPMI SEL records or events and interpretation is needed 🫶

This would also be needed at an enterprise management station to interpret the PET SNMP trap hex data into human-readable form, see option -p 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -b bin_file — Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted as an IPMI event. (same as -h) 🍓
• -f sel_file — Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. Each line in the file should be in this form, with no leading spaces:

04 00 02 76 a9 4a 47 20 00 04 10 09 6f 42 0f ff

If this option is not specified, the default is to use the 16 bytes taken from the command-line arguments. (same as -r) 🧚

• -h bin_file — Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted as an IPMI event. (same as -b) 🌸
• -n — This option generates a New IPMI platform event, using 9 bytes of input. The input bytes are the same as the last 9 bytes of an IPMI event 👑
• -p — Decode as PET event bytes, where the input is 34 PET hex data bytes, skipping the first 8 of the 47-byte PET data. The default without -p assumes that the input is a 16-byte IPMI event 🦋
• -r sel_file — Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. (same as -f) 💜
• -s sensor_file — Sensor file with the output of "ipmiutil sensor", used to get the PET sensor_type from the sensor_num. The default is /usr/share/ipmiutil/sensor_out.txt as generated during the ipmiutil package installation. This is only needed with PET interpretation (-p) 🎀
• -x — show eXtra debug messages 🔥
