There is a lot of alerting (server management) software out there, they basically work the same way:
There is some sort of agent, a program which collects the configured data, compares it against some configurable threshold and sends an alert when the threshold is reached. On one machine runs the central part, which receives all the alerts, displays/filters/etc. them and maybe stores the alerts and or the data in some database. Usually there are some tools to query/aggregate/etc. these data to create all sorts of colourful graphs to make management happy.
A (definitely not complete) list of such software: HP/OpenView, BMC Patrol, TekView, CA Unicenter, ....
With the named ones i have worked already and they all do more or less the same save for CAU - beware of it if you can.
I hope this helps.

solterm
solterm(1) IPMI Serial over LAN program solterm(1)
NAME
solterm - An IPMI Serial over LAN program
SYNOPSIS
solterm
<connection parms> [-e escape_char] [-notencrypted] [-notauthenticated] [-bitrate (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200)] [-alerts (suc-
ceed|defer|fail)] [-holdoff] [-ack-retries n] [-ack-timeout microseconds] [-v] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
The solterm program allows a user to make a remote serial connection over IPMI. The requires that the remote system support IPMI 2.0
Serial Over LAN.
OPTIONS
<connection parms>
The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type. These are all described in openipmi_conparms (7)
-e escape_char
The character to use to escape, or exit, the program. Entering this chatacter right after a newline is entered causes the program
to go into command mode. A single character after this performs a command. The default escape character is "~" as shown below.
Suppported commands are:
~. Terminate the program
~B Send a serial BREAK over the connection
~F Flush all buffers
~R Assert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
~r Deassert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
~D Assert DCD and DSR lines
~d Deassert DCD and DSR lines
~C Pause the output using CTS
~c Put CTS under BMC control
~? Help on escape commands
~~ Enter the escape character twice to send it.
-notencrypted
Do not encrypt the SOL data going over the connection.
-notauthenticated
Do not do integrity checks on the SOL data going over the connection.
-bitrate
Set the bitrate to the given value. The default is whatever the BMC has set it to.
-alerts
This specifies what to do if a alert that requires a callout occurs on the line.
succeed
specifies that serial/modem alerts are to succeed while SoL is active.
deferred
specifies that serial/modem alerts are to be deferred for the duration of the SoL session.
fail specifies that serial/modem alerts automatically fail during the SoL session. This is the default.
-holdoff
Specifies that CTS, DTR, and DSR are to be deasserted at the start of the SoL session so that the configuration may be modifeid
before the handshake is released.
-v Be more verbose. Maybe specified multiple time for more output.
-q Be less verbose. Maybe specified multiple time for less output.
