What is HPE iLO? #
HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a proprietary management technology built into HPE products that allows for remote control access to ProLiant servers, even without being connected to the network (out-of-band management). HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) automates system provisioning and firmware updates, monitors server health, and enables troubleshooting.
Why Should You Use the HPE iLO Connector? #
The HPE iLO connector provides visibility into HPE servers in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure HPE servers are managed per your security policies
-
ensure HPE servers are running the latest security tools
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the HPE iLO REST API and ingests only meta-data about HPE iLO devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
