+## Ipmitool
+
+A xapi plugin that uses `ipmitool` to get information about sensors and the ipmi server.
+
+### get sensor data
+
+Returns a JSON containing all sensor data repository entries and readings.
+```
+$ xe host-call-plugin host-uuid=<uuid> plugin=ipmitool.py fn=get_all_sensors
+[
+ {"name": "Fan1A", "value": "10920 RPM", "event": "ok"},
+ {"name": "Fan2A", "value": "10800 RPM", "event": "ok"},
+ {"name": "Inlet Temp", "value": "23 degrees C", "event": "ok"},
+ {"name": "Exhaust Temp", "value": "28 degrees C", "event": "ok"},
+ {"name": "Temp", "value": "38 degrees C", "event": "ok"}
+]
+```
+
+### get sensor details
+
+Returns a JSON containing detailed information about sensor passed as paramaters. The name of the sensor can be found
+by running the `get_all_sensors` before.
+```
+$ xe host-call-plugin host-uuid=<uuid> plugin=ipmitool.py fn=get_sensor args:sensors="Fan1A,Inlet Temp"
+...TODO...
+```
+
+### get the IP address of the IPMI server
+
+Returns a string with the IP of the IPMI server or an empty string if it is not found.
+```
+$ xe host-call-plugin host-uuid=<uuid> plugin=ipmitool.py fn=get_ipmi_ip
+1.2.3.4
+```
+
 ## Tests
 
 To run the plugins' unit tests you'll need to install `pytest`, `pyfakefs` and `mock`.
