Various approaches provide for communicating management controller performance metrics, such as status information associated with the controller, to a remote requestor. For example, a first software function including a second software function as a callback function determines a performance metric associated with a status of the controller. In response to executing the first software function, the second function identifies the performance metric of the controller by parsing performance data generated by the controller during operation. The performance metric is restricted to communication via a non-network port. The performance metric is converted to a format associated with sensor data of a component monitored by the controller. Thereafter, the controller recognizes the converted performance metric as sensor data and communicates the converted performance metric as sensor data to the remote requestor via a network port.
