Indications
The Dell Command | Intel vPro Out Of Band application provides an indications feature that allows you remotely to monitor, diagnose, and
manage clien
ts using Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) lters (indications) to monitor each client.
NOTE
: More information on DMTF lters 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 con
guration data for the feature
• Policies — Associate lt
ers with a policy that can be applied to one or more clients
• Congure Subscrip
tions — 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 lters will likely generate a large volume of messages, and they
should therefore be used with extreme caution. To avoid network congestion, only one Optional lter may be applied to a single client on
the network at a time. Supported lters are:
Recommended Filters

CAUTION: Use the following Optional Filters with great care, as they can impact network performance. Best use of these lters
includes diagnosis of issues by applying a single Optional lter to a specic client for a short period of time.
