24 Dell™ Client Management Pack Operations
Customizing the Client Management Pack
You can customize discovery, monitoring, and event processing for the Dell
Client systems using the Dell Client Management Pack. You can use overrides to
increase or decrease these intervals to the specific Dell hardware management
needs of the SCOM or SCE operator. You can customize the following
components of the Dell Client Management Pack:
• Monitors : Assesses various conditions that can occur in monitored objects.
The result of this assessment determines the health state of a target and
the alerts that are generated.
•
Object Discoveries : Finds objects on a network that need to be monitored.
•
Rules : Collects data, such as events generated by managed objects.
Unit Monitors
You can customize the following parameters of the Dell Client Management
Pack unit monitors by using overrides:
• Enabled: Allows you to enable or disable Monitors. You can set the
Override Setting to
True or False . The default setting is True .
•
Interval in Seconds: The frequency in seconds with which the Dell
Management Pack polls the Dell device to check the health of a
component. The default is 3600 seconds, 1 hour.
The unit monitors can be triggered by a periodic poll configured as
IntervalSeconds.
NOTE: When there is a chassis intrusion, OMCI generates chassisintrusion events.
You must manually set the chassisintrusion status to Clear to enable the client
system to receive the next event and stop the chassisintrusion events. To change
the chassisintrusion status to Clear, navigate to the BIOS- System Security settings
of your client system and set the Chassis Intrusion option to clear.
Table 3-2 illustrates the various Dell monitors and the applicable parameters
for your Dell Client systems.
