The Rack Manage Agent is a CLI service used to monitor server uptime and send commands to servers via IPMI.

For more about Rack Manage see rackmanage.io.

Overview

The Rack Manage Agent is a Node-based CLI that runs on an on-premises server and communicates with the Rack Manage cloud application. The agent is responsible for monitoring server uptime by pinging other devices on the network and sending the results to the cloud service. Additionally, the agent can connect to hardware via IPMI to send commands to the server, such as chassis identification.
