In addition it can kill single processes as well as reboot the complete system. bismarc-control connects directly to a single device and works independent of the <a href=“{serverurl}”>bismarc-server</a>.

bismarc-ipmibrowser is an expert application used to retrieve information via IPMI. Besides the sensor information, which is also at least partially displayed in bismarc-control, this includes information about the FRU's (Field Replacable Unit) and the chassis. In addition bismarc-ipmibrowser allows to perform a power cycle or activate / deactivate single FRUs.

As an expert application, bismarc-ipmibrowser can also connect to systems, which are not yet defined as a bismarc device in the database.

bismarc-snmpbrowser is an expert application used to retrieve or set information via SNMP. bismarc-snmpbrowser also contains a MIB-Browser, which provides easy access to the numeric OIDs based on the loaded MIB files.
