Local monitoring
The device can be monitored locally, e.g. by tools such as SuperDoctor from Supermicro.
These enable sensor scans and control functions to be performed in a web interface or with
the command line.
Remote monitoring
Remote monitoring of one or more devices with the IPMIView software from Supermicro is
another option. IPMIView is a management software for remote maintenance of multiple
terminals in a network. Among the functions provided by IPMIView are the following:
