Identifying and reporting baseboard management controller performance degradation

Abstract

A computer program product and computer-implemented method include various operations. The operations include periodically obtaining a subset of a first failure data capture file from a baseboard management controller, analyzing the subset of the first failure data capture file to identify a performance degradation in one or more services performed by the baseboard management controller, and obtaining a complete copy of the first failure data capture file from the baseboard management controller in response to identifying the performance degradation, wherein the complete copy of the first failure data capture file is obtained from the baseboard management controller prior to the performance degradation reaching a performance level that triggers an automatic reset of the baseboard management controller. The operations may further include sending a notification to a user, wherein the notification identifies that the baseboard management controller has experienced the performance degradation.
