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, used to interpret raw hex data from IPMI events
       or from IPMI PET SNMP trap varbind data.  This utility uses the same interpretation logic as is  used  by
       "ipmiutil sel" (showsel) and "ipmiutil getevt" (getevents).

       The data bytes in the input are always assumed to be in hex form.

       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).
