# HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)

## 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.

## Configuring the Connector in Lucidum
