Getting correctable ecc error event details from iDrac

Hi

I have a few Dell Poweredge R720 , R620 etc machines that are running esxi 6.5

I see a correctable ecc error event in iDRac UI in one of them. when I ssh into it's iDrac IP and run 
 /admin1-> racadm getsel            it gives-
Record:     4
Date/Time: 06/15/2022 17:21:59
Source:     system
Severity:   Non-Critical
Description: Persistent correctable memory errors detected on a memory device at location(s) DIMM1,DIMM2,DIMM3,DIMM4,DIMM5,DIMM6,DIMM7,DIMM8.

I want to know how can I get it outside the idrac on the esx server. Is there any way to do a http get or something to fetch such errors from idrac back to the esx server.

I tried running
ipmitool -v sel list              which gives output as below
SEL Record ID   : 0004
 Record Type           : 02
 Timestamp             : 06/15/2022 17:21:59
 Generator ID         : 0041
 EvM Revision         : 04
 Sensor Type           : Memory
 Sensor Number         : 53
 Event Type           : Sensor-specific Discrete
 Event Direction       : Assertion Event
 Event Data           : 00ffff
 Description           : Correctable ECC

But ipmitool does not tell which DIMM had the error. I can see that in the iDrac UI but I want to know what Command/API I can run on esx host to get the error DIMM information outside the iDrac. or can I make http get request to iDrac IP somehow to get the 'racadm getsel' data? 

Thank you
