The present invention relates to a device in a motor vehicle having a system for monitoring the active status of vehicle light bulbs such as brake light bulbs and the corresponding light fuse and reporting the status to a vehicle driver.

Vehicle fuse and brake light monitor

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for monitoring sensors for systems management. Embodiments include establishing, by a server, an entity identification for a component of the server; establishing, by the server, for a plurality of sensors a single virtual sensor number; establishing, by the server, for each sensor having the single virtual sensor number a unique instance identification representing the sensor; receiving, from a system management node, by the server, a request for a sensor reading, the request including the entity identification, the single virtual sensor number, and the unique instance identification; based on the entity identification, the single virtual sensor number, and the unique instance identification, retrieving, by the server, a sensor reading; and transmitting to the system management node, by the server, the sensor reading.

Monitoring sensors for systems management

The exemplary embodiments provide a computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer-usable program code for reporting operating system faults on an Intelligent Platform Management Interface compliant server. In response to receiving an alert for an operating system fault, the alert for the operating system fault is converted into an IPMI event. The IPMI event is stored in an internal event log. An IPMI system event record is created for the IPMI event. The IPMI event is sent to a host management controller in order to enable monitoring of the operating system fault.
