Users Guide
Indications allow you to monitor diagnostic events such as:
● Motherboard failure
● CPU failure
● Power supply failure
● Memory subsystem failure
The indications feature has the following functionality:
● Settings — Set up configuration data for the feature
● Policies — Associate filters with a policy that can be applied to one or more clients
● Configure Subscriptions — Associate policies with clients on the network, and then apply the policies to the clients
● Subscription status — View and manage subscriptions
● Events — View, manage, and export events
Recommended and optional filters
Some indications are message intensive: when applied to a client, these filters will likely generate a large volume of messages,
and they should therefore be used with extreme caution. To avoid network congestion, only one Optional filter may be applied to
a single client on the network at a time. Supported filters are:
Recommended Filters
● Intel
®
AMT: CorePlatform
Optional Filters
CAUTION:
Use the following Optional Filters with great care, as they can impact network performance. Best use
of these filters includes diagnosis of issues by applying a single Optional filter to a specific client for a short
period.

From the Policies screen, you can view the Indications policies that have been previously created, as well as perform the
following tasks:

The table can be sorted by any of its field in ascending or descending order by clicking the relevant column title.
Creating a policy
1. Click Indications > Policies.
2. Click New.
The Create Policy screen opens.
3. Enter a policy name. The name must not be the same as an existing policy name, can only contain alphanumeric characters
and spaces, and can be up to 64 characters in length.
4. Select the filter(s) to include in your policy. Ensure that you select at least one filter to create a new policy, but no more
than two filters consisting of the CorePlatform (Recommended) filter and one of the Optional filters. See Recommended
And Optional Filters for more information about when to use which filters.
