Hey Al, Thanks for taking a closer look at the provided patch. As you guessed correctly, I will need more time to check the details ;) With the proposed --output-oem-event-string option a customer has the option to get (exactly) the same output from freeipmi as he gets from the other interfaces of the BMC. The iRMC supports a fancy Web interface as well as text based menu driven access via SSH/Telnet which all use the same API to decode the SEL. The basic idea is to let the BMC decode the event. If there are changes in the SEL interpretation or new/additional parameter combinations with a firmware update, the BMC will know how to interpret this and external tools would not needed to be updated and the output is consistent.
