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 interpreta-
       tion rules can be configurd via the  configuration  file  /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf.   and  /etc/freeipmi//freeipmi_inter-
       pret_sensor.conf  See  freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf(5)  and freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf(5) for more information on configuring sensor and
       system event interpretations.
