1This program captures & visualizes IPMI traffic on a BMC running OpenBMC. It allows the user to capture & view IPMI requests in a time line format, as well as generate commands that can talk to `ipmid` or `ipmitool` to replay those IPMI requests. 2 3## Build 4 5This program is based on Electron, and should be compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac and ChromeOS's Linux environment. 6 7The following commands are all run from this folder (where `index.html` is located.) 8 9To build and run, a user would first need to install node.js and npm (Node.js package manager), and then checkout `dbus-pcap` to this folder. To install node.js on a Ubuntu/Debian-based system: 10 11First, install `npm` and `node.js` using a method that is suitable for your setup. 12 13``` 14$ node --version 15v10.20.1 16$ npm --version 176.14.4 18``` 19 20Then, with `npm`, `node.js` installed and `dbus-pcap` downloaded to this folder, run the following commands: 21 221. `npm install` 23 242. `npm start` 25 26## Run 27 28### Open existing file 29 301. Select "Open an existing file" 312. Click "Open file" 323. Choose a file (The file should be a text file, and its contents should be dbus-monitor outputs) 33 34### Capture 35 361. Select "Capture on a BMC" 372. Fill the Megapede client name in the text box 383. Choose a capture mode (live or staged) 394. Click "start capture" and watch the status updates 405. Click "stop capture" when done 416. If something happens, manual clean-up might be needed, such as stopping dbus-monitor on the BMC 42 43 44
