Utilities

Discover

usage: rf_discover.py [-h]

A tool to discover Redfish services

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example: rf_discover.py

The tool will perform an SSDP request to find all available Redfish services. Once all the responses are collected, it will print each service with its UUID and service root.

Sensor List

usage: rf_sensor_list.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST

A tool to walk a Redfish service and list sensor info

required arguments:
  --user USER, -u USER  The user name for authentication
  --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
                        The password for authentication
  --rhost RHOST, -r RHOST
                        The address of the Redfish service (with scheme)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --id, -i              Construct sensor names using 'Id' values
  --name, -n            Construct sensor names using 'Name' values
  --debug               Creates debug file showing HTTP traces and exceptions

Example: rf_sensor_list.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the chassis collection for the service, and reads their respective power and thermal resources. Using the information from those resources, it will build a sensor table and print the information collected.

System Inventory

usage: rf_sys_inventory.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST
                           [--details] [--noabsent] [--write [WRITE]]

                        be shown
  --noabsent, -noabsent
                        Indicates if absent devices should be skipped
  --write [WRITE], -w [WRITE]
                        Indicates if the inventory should be written to a
                        spreadsheet and what the file name should be if given

                        Indicates if workarounds should be attempted for non-
                        conformant services
  --debug               Creates debug file showing HTTP traces and exceptions

Example: rf_sys_inventory.py -u root -p root -r https://192.168.1.100 -details

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It then traverses the chassis collection for the service, and collects component information for processors, memory, drives, PCIe devices, network adapters, and storage controllers. Using the information collected, it will build an inventory table and print the information.

Logs

usage: rf_logs.py [-h] --user USER --password PASSWORD --rhost RHOST
                  [--manager [MANAGER]] [--system [SYSTEM]]

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It will then attempt to locate the appropriate log service via the following logic:

If the manager argument is provided, it will traverse the manager collection for the matching manager.
If the system argument is provided, it will traverse the system collection for the matching system.
If the chassis argument is provided, it will traverse the chassis collection for the matching chassis.
If any of the above arguments are provided without a specified Id, but the collection contains exactly one member, then that member is used.
If none of the above arguments are provided, then the tool will try to use a manager in the manager collection if there is only one member present.
Within the member, the tool will find the matching log service based on the log argument.
- If log is not specified, and there is exactly one log service in the member, then the tool will use that one log service.

Once the desired log service is found, the tool will either perform the ClearLog action if clear is provided, or read and display the log entries.

The tool will log into the service specified by the rhost argument using the credentials provided by the user and password arguments. It will then attempt to locate the appropriate log service via the following logic:

If the manager argument is provided, it will traverse the manager collection for the matching manager.
If the system argument is provided, it will traverse the system collection for the matching system.
If the chassis argument is provided, it will traverse the chassis collection for the matching chassis.
If any of the above arguments are provided without a specified Id, but the collection contains exactly one member, then that member is used.
If none of the above arguments are provided, then the tool will try to use a manager in the manager collection if there is only one member present.
Within the member, the tool will find the matching log service based on the log argument.
- If log is not specified, and there is exactly one log service in the member, then the tool will use that one log service.

Once the desired log service is found, the tool perform the GetDiagnosticData action and specify the type of diagnostic data to collect based on the type and oemtype arguments. Once the action is complete, it will download the diagnostic data from the service and save it on the local system.
