Telegraf already get metric info:
https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/ipmi_sensor
Or exporter for Prometheus:

But will be awesome if vector get Baremetal server logs as different channel.

Hardware monitoring is the big deal. Log level will be awesome and ipmi is great tool.
And many vendors use it.

Detection is simple:

dmidecode -t 38

Thanks @mhr, this is very helpful. We're starting to plan the Server-level Metrics Collection project. I'll add this to that for consideration.
