Rust Drac v0.5.2

Added

• MegaRAC firmware 13.04 (Gigabyte R163-Z32) and 12.60 (R272-Z30): console, Health & SEL and log export verified. The 13.04 viewer takes its CSRF token from a cookie and its KVM flags from the window that opened it, so the console page now seeds both.

Fixed

• MegaRAC: SEL and audit-log pages without a next-link (firmware 12.60 and 13.04 page by 50 and report the page size as the count) are followed by $skip, so the Health tab and the export read the whole log instead of the first 50 entries. A BMC that ignores $skip and repeats the page stops the walk.
• Power supplies named "nil" (MegaRAC 13.04) are listed as "PSU "; a PSU capacity given as a string such as "450W" is exported as a number instead of "450W W".
• MegaRAC: the serial number shown on the console strip and saved to the address book is now the FRU product serial (what the BMC's own FRU page shows). It used to come from the host-interface inventory, which reads "NA" until the host has reported its SMBIOS data, so Gigabyte R181 servers showed "NA" while the BMC knew the serial.

Rust Drac v0.5.1

Added

• ASRock Rack BMCs (AMI MegaRAC with a blank page title) are detected as MegaRAC too, from AMI's logo markup. Tested on a 1U4LW-X570/2L2T (BMC firmware 3.09): console, power, Health & SEL and log export.
• Power supplies whose health reads "Normal" and whose wattage is a string such as "450W" (ASRock Rack) show as OK with their capacity instead of Unknown.

Rust Drac v0.5.0

Added

• AMI MegaRAC (Gigabyte) support: the HTML5 viewer in a console tab, power control, Health & SEL, the alarm checker, log export and address-book autofill, detected from the BMC's "MegaRAC SP-X" page like the other vendors. Redfish there is used through one session per BMC and user (a MegaRAC refuses a PAM user's fifth basic-auth request within a minute), ended when the app exits. Tested on a Gigabyte R181-NA0 (MegaRAC SP-X firmware 12.61). The address book accepts vendor: megarac.
• SEL entries whose message is a raw IPMI record (AMI firmware) show the event and the sensor name instead of the key-value dump.
• Reset types are read from the action's ActionInfo document when the system leaves them out (AMI firmware), so the power menu only offers what the BMC accepts.
• docs/megarac-redfish-login.md: why a MegaRAC's Redfish rejects users the web UI accepts (PAM is off in its account service) and the one call that fixes it; the Health tab points there when a MegaRAC rejects a login.
• Console tabs have a power button showing the server's power state, with Power On, Graceful Shutdown, Force Off, Reset, Graceful Restart and Power Cycle (Redfish ComputerSystem.Reset). Only actions the BMC offers are enabled, everything but Power On asks first, and the state is read back afterwards.
• A rejected login ("invalid username or password") on a console or Health tab shows a Change Password… button: enter another user name and password and connect again. For an address-book entry the new user name is saved and the password can be saved to the keyring.

Changed

• Saving a password where no keyring is reachable (WSL, a bare X session, SSH: no Secret Service on the session bus) now explains that and how to get one, and offers to go on without saving: connect, add or edit the server with the password kept for the session only.
• An iDRAC that refuses its name with "Access Error: 400 -- Bad Request" (the Host header check, on by default since iDRAC 8 firmware 2.81 and iDRAC 9 firmware 5.10 as part of the CVE-2021-21510 fix) no longer produces a raw HTML dump. The tab explains why, lists the racadm fixes (DNSRacName/DNSDomainName, ManualDNSEntry, and when disabling HostHeaderCheck is justified) and, once the name resolves, offers a Connect by IP Address button. The Health & SEL tab shows the same page (instead of the explanation squeezed into its status lines) with the same button. The Health tab and log export report the same explanation.

Rust Drac v0.4.1

Added

• Console tabs show the server's model, service tag / serial and BMC address above the viewer. Click a value to copy it; the copy button next to them copies all three.
• Health & SEL: SEL entries can be copied. Select one or more (Shift/Ctrl-click) and press Ctrl+C, or right-click for Copy Line, Copy Message and Copy All Shown (the filtered list with a header). Lines are tab-separated.

Rust Drac v0.4.0

Added

• Windows build. A per-user installer (rustdrac-<version>-x86_64-setup.exe, also on winget as karubits.RustDrac) and a portable zip. The GTK 3 interface is the same; the console is shown in Microsoft Edge WebView2 (the runtime ships with Windows 11 and current Windows 10; the installer fetches it otherwise), passwords are stored in the Credential Manager and health alarms arrive as Windows notifications. The address book lives in %APPDATA%\rustdrac\connections.yaml.

Changed

• The toast at the bottom of the window ("Screenshot saved", "Export finished") no longer floats over the page; the page makes room for it while it is shown.

Rust Drac v0.3.0

Added

• Supermicro X11 support. The console tab, address-book autofill, Health & SEL tab, alarm checker and log export now also work with Supermicro X10/X11 BMCs (HTML5 iKVM). The vendor is detected on first contact, saved as vendor: in connections.yaml, and can be set by hand in the Add/Edit dialog ("BMC type").
• The address-book column and field "Service Tag" is now "Service Tag / Serial": Supermicro servers show their serial number there.

Changed

• Export: the BMC log file is lclog.csv on Dell (as before) and maintenance.csv on Supermicro. In summary.json the idrac key is now bmc (with kind, model, firmware), lc_log_entries is bmc_log (kind, entries, file), and there is a vendor field.
• The live export test is export_from_a_real_bmc; RUSTDRAC_TEST_VENDOR=dell|supermicro skips the vendor probe.

Rust Drac v0.2.0

iDRAC 9 support (after v0.1.0, the same day).

Added

• iDRAC 9. The virtual console, Health & SEL and the alarm checker work on iDRAC 9. Tested on PowerEdge R6515 with iDRAC 9 firmware 7.10.30.

  • The iDRAC generation is detected automatically, so address-book entries need no new setting.
  • Login uses the iDRAC 9 session API. The noVNC viewer gets its KVM session ids the way Dell's web UI hands them over, so they never appear in the URL.
  • Closing a tab unloads the viewer and deletes the session; reconnecting right away doesn't hit the "share this session" prompt.

• Screenshot. A header-bar button saves the console picture as a PNG at its native resolution, without Dell's toolbar, to ~/Pictures/Rust Drac (defaults.screenshot_dir). A notice offers to open the folder.

• Export Logs. Saves a zip per server, from the header bar or the address book's right-click menu:

  • summary.txt / summary.json: model, service tag, serial, BIOS and iDRAC firmware, health, CPUs, DIMMs, storage, NICs and PSUs;
  • health.csv, sel.csv, and lclog.csv (the newest 500 Lifecycle Controller entries).

  It has progress and Cancel, and contains no credentials.

Fixed

• No GPU. The console now loads on machines without a GPU render node (/dev/dri), such as VMs without a virtual GPU and containers. The app switches Mesa to software rendering (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1) when there is no render node.
• The viewer's UI language is set to English when the system locale is C. The iDRAC 9 viewer used to request a missing c.json locale file.

Known Issues

• iDRAC 9 two-factor (TFA/RSA) logins and the "password must be changed" state are reported as errors, not handled.
