It supports both the regular `/metrics` endpoint, exposing metrics from the
host that the exporter is running on, as well as an `/ipmi` endpoint that
supports IPMI over RMCP - one exporter running on one host can be used to
monitor a large number of IPMI interfaces by passing the `target` parameter to
a scrape.
supports IPMI over RMCP, implementing the multi-target exporter pattern. If you
plan to use the latter, please read the guide [Understanding and using the
multi-target exporter pattern][multi-target] to get the general idea about the

[multi-target]: https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/multi-target-exporter/

The exporter relies on tools from the [FreeIPMI][freeipmi] suite for the actual
IPMI implementation.
