### PDU Inventory Collection
In addition to collecting Redfish inventory from BMCs, `magellan` can also collect inventory from Power Distribution Units (PDUs) that expose a JAWS-style API. The `collect` command has a `pdu` subcommand for this purpose.
The command connects to the specified PDU host(s), gathers all outlet information, and transforms it into the nested JSON format required by SMD in OpenCHAMI.
The most common workflow is to collect from the PDU and pipe the JSON output directly to the `magellan send` command, which then POSTs the data to a running SMD instance.
```bash
# Collect from a PDU and pipe the output directly to a local SMD instance
./magellan collect pdu pdu.example.com --username admin --password "pdu-password" | ./magellan send http://localhost:27779
### Managing Secrets
When connecting to an array of BMC nodes, some nodes may have different secret credentials than the rest. These secrets can be stored and used automatically by `magellan` when performing a `collect` or a `crawl`. All secrets are encrypted and are only accessible using the same `MASTER_KEY` as when stored originally.
