NAME

       libipmimonitoring - a library for IPMI system event and sensor monitoring

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ipmi_monitoring.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  libipmimonitoring implements a high level sensor and system event monitoring API. For
       system events, an iterator interface is provided that allows the user to  iterate  through
       system events, types, states, and more. For sensors, an iterator and callback interface is
       provided that allows the user to iterate through sensor values, types, units, states,  and
       more.

       In  order  to  improve  efficiency, SDR data will be cached on the host.  By default it is
       cached in /var/cache/ipmimonitoringsdrcache.

       Interpretation rules  for  system  events  and  sensors  are  guided  by  libfreeipmi(3)'s
       interpretation library. Configuration of the interpretation rules can be configurd via the
       configuration        file         /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf.          and
       /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf   See   freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf(5)   and
       freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf(5) for more information on configuring  sensor  and  system
       event interpretations.
