Abstract
An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with the plurality of hardware devices. The BMC includes executable instructions for monitoring a parameter of one or more of the hardware devices of the IHS when a custom BMC firmware stack is executed on the BMC. The instructions that monitor the parameter are separate and distinct from the instructions of the custom BMC firmware stack. When the parameter exceeds a specified threshold, the instructions are further executed to control the BMC to perform one or more operations to remediate the excessive parameter.
