Hello

I'm using ipmitool to measure server power.

# ipmitool -I lanplus -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U root -P xxx dcmi power reading

 Instantaneous power reading: 129 Watts
 Minimum during sampling period: 15 Watts
 Maximum during sampling period: 292 Watts
 Average power reading over sample period: 129 Watts
 IPMI timestamp: Sun Jul 14 18:55:54 2024
 Sampling period: 00000001 Seconds.
 Power reading state is: activated

I would like to inquire about the results above.

1. I would like to inquire whether the “Instaneous power reading” value is the same as idrac’s Raw Power Consumption value, and whether this value is an average value.

2. I would like to inquire about the meaning of the sampling period value and whether the value can be changed.
