Abstract
Systems and methods for loading and populating system inventory data in an event driven model. A management device, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC), is connected to a host server computing device. The management device has an inventory file storing the system inventory data from a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the host server computing device. When the management device receives the system inventory data from the BIOS of the host server computing device via an in-band channel, the inventory file is updated with the data received. Further, the management device may use existing mechanisms such as the inotify hook function to monitor the inventory file in order to determine whether the inventory file is updated. When the inventory file is updated, the management device invokes a function for loading the inventory file and processing the system inventory data stored in the inventory file.
