Event-based generation of context-aware telemetry reports

A method for providing diagnostic IHS (Information Handling System) telemetry, the method comprising:

• storing metric data reports received from a plurality of components of the IHS;
• receiving an indication of an IHS event;
• identifying a first component of the IHS as a source of the event and a first time associated with the event;
• identifying a plurality of the stored metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time;
• identifying a plurality of the stored metric reports generated by components related to the first component;
• and
• generating an event report comprising the plurality of the metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time and the plurality of metric reports generated by components related to the first component.

A remote access controller providing diagnostic IHS (Information Handling System) telemetry;

• the remote access controller comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory device coupled to the one or more processors, the memory device storing computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the remote access controller to:
• store metric data reports received from a plurality of components of the IHS;
• receive an indication of an IHS event, wherein the indication specifies a first component of the IHS as a source of the event and wherein the indication specifies a first time associated with the event;
• identify a plurality of the metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time;
• identify a plurality of metric reports generated by components related to the first component;
• and
• generate an event report comprising the plurality of the metric reports generated by the first component prior to the first time and the plurality of metric reports generated by components related to the first component.
