A management processor includes a peripheral identifier to identify a peripheral device installed in a computing device. The management processor also includes a code retriever to receive management code from the peripheral device. The management processor also includes a code executor to execute the management code to provide, at the management processor, a management application programming interface (API) accessible by a remote client to manage the peripheral device, the remote client being external to the management processor.

Management processor using code from peripheral device

Various examples described herein provide for monitoring a peripheral device by data imported from the peripheral device. The peripheral data may comprise a script associated with monitoring or managing the peripheral device, or descriptive data describing a set of monitor values on the peripheral device.

Monitor peripheral device based on imported data

Various examples described herein provide for a management processor that reads a registration script from a peripheral device, and uses the script to act in proxy to register the peripheral device as a data provider on the management processor. Once a peripheral device is registered as a data provider on the management processor, the management processor can permit the peripheral device to host a management resource on the management processor. By accessing the hosted management resource through the management processor, a client can manage, monitor, or control the peripheral device.
