    Please see comments in previous sequence with options to get Energy/Thermal metrics via HMC Rest API. Please re-open with additional details if the API's doesn't address the requirement or if there is more enhancement needed on the API's.

    Hi,

    Energy/Thermal metrics can be retrieved using the Energy Monitoring API's available in HMC. Please see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/power9/9040-MR9?topic=monitoring-energy for reference. Let us know if this addresses your requirement.

    Thanks.
