I care a lot of about fan control so I have gotten it to a point where it is workable for my purposes, but I haven't been able to find time to finish a fully fleshed out release.) (This is a sort of hobby / side project for me.

Regarding logging, I haven't fully built that out in Dell Fan Management but if you run it from the command line, you will get some text log entries dumped out there. Starting in 2021 (Tiger Lake systems) they removed the old interface that HWiNFO and other tools that can deal with Dell fans were using, so WMI is the only way to go now that I am aware of. I think any Dell system from 2018+ (maybe older), desktops included, supports the same WMI interface for reading the fan speeds. I did a lot of slinking around Dell's libsmbios C code (for Linux SMBIOS support), a lot of BIOS token/variable dumps, and some reverse-engineered Dell Power Manager code to figure this out.

I am author of Dell Fan Management and I would be happy to pass along any information to help with this implementation.
