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 moni-
     toring  API.  For system events, an iterator interface is provided that al-
     lows 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/db/freeipmi/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	/usr/lo-
     cal/etc/freeipmi/freeipmi_interpret_sel.conf.	    and 	/usr/lo-
     cal/etc/freeipmi/freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf	 See	 freeipmi_inter-
     pret_sel.conf(5) and freeipmi_interpret_sensor.conf(5) for more information
     on configuring sensor and system event interpretations.
