Dell iDRAC BMC Status Fails to Evaluate #151

@WilHatesComputers

Description

@WilHatesComputers

I took a PowerEdge T330 from iDRAC 2.50.50.50 to 2.86.86.86. I had the host in Icinga the entire time so I can see a timeline of where things fell apart.
Each update went without a hitch until 2.63.60.61. After this update, the --bmc check always returns a CRITICAL, reporting invalid JSON at /redfish/v1/Manager/iDRAC.Embedded.1?$expand=*($levels=1).

I believe this issue is almost a duplicate of #69, I'm just not sure it's a bug. I only have one or two DRAC8s to test with but the 2.70.70.70 firmware released Oct 2019 and I updated to 2.86.86.86, released on April 3, 2024. This seems like a really long time for a bug to persist.

I can query this URL without issue from a terminal or an API tester. The output from the plugin mentions a license issue but, I think this is an evaluation problem. I believe the information required for the evaluation is in the dumped JSON. I didn't see anything in the Dell Redfish manual about this URL requiring a license after 2.70.70.70.

Is there something I can do to test this further?
