Pywbemtools - WBEM command line tools

This package contains the following Python based WBEM tools:

• pywbemcli - a WBEM client CLI tool for interacting with WBEM servers to execute both basic CIM/XML requests on the servers and higher level requests such as showing namespaces, indication subscriptions, profiles, etc.

• pywbemlistener - a WBEM CLI tool that runs and manages WBEM listeners to receive and display WBEM indications.

CIM/WBEM standards are used for a wide variety of systems management tasks in the industry including DMTF management standards and the SNIA Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S).

Pywbemtools uses the pywbem WBEM client infrastructure package.

The pywbemtools github page is: https://github.com/pywbem/pywbemtools.
