Sensor Monitoring
- Real-time temperature, fan RPM, voltage, and power-consumption readings.
- Live charts with historical data (up to one year, controlled by
data.retention_days).
- Configurable alert thresholds with browser notifications.
ipmideck polls each BMC on an interval set by ipmi.poll_interval (default 30 seconds,
overridable with IPMIDECK_IPMI_POLL_INTERVAL).
FanPilot — Intelligent Fan Control
- Visual drag-and-drop fan-curve editor.
- Built-in profiles: Silent, Balanced, Performance, Full Speed, and Custom.
- Configurable hysteresis to prevent fan oscillation around a temperature limit.
- Safety override: fans are forced to 100% at or above the critical temperature.
- Autonomous loop that keeps working independently of the dashboard.
FanPilot’s safety override always wins. No fan curve can hold fans below 100% once the
critical temperature is reached — the thermal limit takes precedence over any profile.
Power Control
- Power On, Soft Off, Hard Off, Reset, and Power Cycle.
- Real-time power-status indicator.
- Confirmation dialogs for destructive actions.
- Full command audit log of every state-changing operation.
System Event Log (SEL)
- View the BMC hardware event log with severity filtering.
- Search, date-range filters, and export to CSV or JSON.
Hardware Inventory (FRU)
- Serial numbers, part numbers, and manufacturer info.
- Board, chassis, and product data at a glance.
Multi-Server Dashboard
- Manage multiple BMCs from a single ipmideck instance.
- Panoramic view with a status overview of all servers.
How it talks to your hardware
ipmideck drives every IPMI operation through ipmitool, invoked over lanplus
(IPMI 2.0) for encrypted sessions. Arguments are always passed as a list — never through
a shell — so there is no command-injection surface. See Security for the
full picture.
