PlatformManager Service API

PlatformManager exposes a Thrift service on port 5975 (default) that allows querying platform state and exploration status.

The Thrift interface is defined in platform_manager_service.thrift.

The PlatformManager service is consumed programmatically by other FBOSS services. For example, sensor_service uses PmClientFactory to connect.

The following is an example of using a custom thrift client to query the service.

./pm_thrift_client getPlatformName
MONTBLANC


./pm_thrift_client getBspVersion
{
  "bspBaseName": "fboss_bsp_kmods",
  "bspVersion": "3.4.0-1",
  "kernelVersion": "6.12.49-1.el9.x86_64"
}
