About

Redfish Console

Features
Read full description

Check your server beneath the operating system. Redfish Console connects your iPhone directly to a Redfish management controller (BMC) over HTTPS on your local network or user-managed VPN. SEE REPORTED STATUS Review host power, system health, and available hardware information, including processors, memory, storage, network interfaces, and sensor readings. EXPLORE YOUR BMC Browse supported Redfish resources and services advertised by your server. Follow event logs, inspect full warning messages and resolution guidance, and use filters when your BMC supports them. REVIEW BEFORE ACTING See the target and expected effect before confirming an available power or locator-light command. Actions depend on the capabilities your server advertises and the permissions of your BMC account. DIRECT ACCESS No Redfish Console account or hosted relay is required. Save one BMC connection on your iPhone, protect saved-login access with optional Face ID or device authentication, and remove local app data in Settings. Optional app diagnostics are enabled by default and can be turned off in Settings. REDFISH CONSOLE PRO Setup, Settings, local deletion, and purchase restoration are available without Pro. Access to system information, hardware, logs, and supported commands requires a monthly or annual subscription, or a lifetime purchase. Subscription trials, when offered, are subject to Apple eligibility. Prices and available plans are shown in the app. REQUIREMENTS You need an HTTPS-accessible Redfish BMC, a certificate trusted by iOS, and valid server credentials. Available data and actions vary by hardware, firmware, and account permissions. Redfish Console does not provide IPMI access or an interactive remote KVM console. Redfish Console is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DMTF or hardware vendors.
