Otherwise we’d need to set up a central host with passwords for dozens of hosts to pull the SOL for logging and that doesn’t feel right either … -__
There are several software projects that log serial output from many servers and support IPMI. So I think the practice is quite common. Naturally, security concerns can vary widely given the environment and how things are setup. The two I'm most familiar with are Conman and Conserver, although I'm sure there are other projects.

Hi, sorry if this isn’t directly a developers question, but I’ve run out of avenues after googling and looking around… We’re experiencing weird system stability issue where the “log to SEL” doesn’t cut it: we see watchdog reboots but no kernel output whatsoever ending up in the SEL. (I’ve debugged this with Corey before and we found something to fix but the watchdog events we’re experiencing still don’t get logged in more detail.) I’m wondering: does anyone know of a “push” solution to instruct the BMC (mostly Supermicro in our case) to push SOL output proactively through some protocol like syslog? Otherwise we’d need to set up a central host with passwords for dozens of hosts to pull the SOL for logging and that doesn’t feel right either … -__ Grateful for any ideas … Christian
