13 ievents is a standalone utility delivered with ipmiutil, used to inter‐
14 pret raw hex data from IPMI events or from IPMI PET SNMP trap varbind
15 data. This utility uses the same interpretation logic as is used by
16 "ipmiutil sel" (showsel) and "ipmiutil getevt" (getevents).
17
18 The data bytes in the input are always assumed to be in hex form.
19
20 This could be useful if a utility other than "ipmiutil sel" were used
21 to obtain IPMI SEL records or events and interpretation is needed.
22
23 This would also be needed at an enterprise management station to inter‐
24 pret the PET SNMP trap hex data into human-readable form, see option
25 -p.
26
27
29 -b bin_file
30 Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in
31 binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw
32 bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted
33 as an IPMI event. (same as -h)
34
35
36 -f sel_file
37 Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured
38 with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. Each line
39 in the file should be in this form, with no leading spaces:
40 04 00 02 76 a9 4a 47 20 00 04 10 09 6f 42 0f ff
41 If this option is not specified, the default is to use the 16
42 bytes taken from the command-line arguments. (same as -r)
43
44
45 -h bin_file
46 Interpret a file containing raw binary/hex SEL data dumped in
47 binary form, such as that produced by "ipmitool sel writeraw
48 bin_file". Each set of 16 bytes in the file will be interpreted
49 as an IPMI event. (same as -b)
50
51
52 -p Decode as PET event bytes, where the input is 34 PET hex data
53 bytes, skipping the first 8 of the 47-byte PET data. The
54 default without -p assumes that the input is a 16-byte IPMI
55 event.
56
57
58 -r sel_file
59 Interpret a file containing raw ascii text SEL data captured
60 with ipmiutil sel -r, or some other similar utility. (same as
61 -f)
62
63
64 -s sensor_file
65 Sensor file with the output of "ipmiutil sensor", used to get
66 the PET sensor_type from the sensor_num. The default is
67 /usr/share/ipmiutil/sensor_out.txt as generated during the
68 ipmiutil rpm installation. This is only needed with PET inter‐
69 pretation (-p).
