Abstract
An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with multiple hardware devices of the IHS. The BMC includes executable instructions for monitoring a parameter of one or more of the hardware devices when a custom BMC firmware stack is executed on the BMC. The instructions that monitor the parameter are separate and distinct from the instructions of the custom BMC firmware stack. The instructions also control the BMC to perform one or more operations to remediate an excessive parameter when the parameter exceeds a specified threshold.
