10 Telemetry Streaming with iDRAC9 – Metric Reports Using Rsyslog | Document ID: 362
4 Generating metric reports from Rsyslog files
iDRAC telemetry reports are streamed as message chunks in order to overcome the syslog message size
limitation. The chunks include metadata at the beginning so that the messages can be reassembled to form
the complete message. The message can be assembled based on metadata consisting of Message SeqNo,
Total chunks, and Chunk Number. A sample aggregation python script is available in the GitHub.
