Indications
Dell Command | Intel vPro Out Of Band provides an indications feature that allows you remotely to
monitor, diagnose, and manage clients using Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) filters
(indications) to monitor each client.
NOTE: More information on DMTF filters may be found at the DMTF website,www.dmtf.org.
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
