Blade/micro servers are often located within a cabinet only by the UID light. It would be very convient to be able to enable/disable a host's UID lights via the foreman UI. In particular, it would be great if this could be done on multiple hosts at once.

IPMI allows identity lights to be turned on unconditionally or for a time period. It would be nice if a default value could be set or if the default was not "infinity" but there was a drop down button to allow that value. This would be most useful if multiple hosts could be selected and identified at once.

Unfortunately, there's not a standard ipmi command to determine the current UID light status. Some BMCs expose it as an sdr and others require an oem command. Checking the uid status would be useful but isn't a reason to hold up basic enable/disable functionality. If the proxy was extended to allow a bmc "type" to be passed, per vendor bmc plugins could be developed to handle uid status checking along with other functions.
