8snapshot of the BMC's health metrics, which includes the following categories:
9
101. BMC memory metric: mem_available, slab, kernel_stack
112. Uptime: uptime in wall clock time, idle process across all cores
123. Disk space: free space in RWFS in KiB
134. Status of the top 10 processes: cmdline, utime, stime
145. File descriptor of top 10 processes: cmdline, file descriptor count
