Prerequisites
Ensure that you have configured the power and temperature thresholds in the Alert Thresholds tab under the Power
Management and Monitoring tab for devices, or under Group Details for groups.
About this task
To view a list of devices and groups that have violated the defined threshold values of power, run the in-built for Power
Manager: Metric Thresholds Report for Devices and Power Manager: Metric Thresholds Report for Groups. The
total violation count for power is the sum of upper warning, and upper critical violation counts. The total violation count for
temperature is the sum of upper warning, upper critical, lower warning, and lower critical violation counts.
NOTE:
If you are logging in as a Device Manager, only the device groups and devices that are in your scope are available for
viewing and management.
If you are logging in as a Device Manager DM1 user, the top 10 devices that are assigned to the Device Manager DM1 user and
that have violated the defined threshold values for the maximum number of times are displayed.
Steps
1. Launch OpenManage Enterprise and click Plugins > Power Management > Overview tab.
The Overview tab is displayed.
2. View the Top 10 Power Offenders section.
Device information that is provided by default includes details such as device name, service tag, number of times the device
has violated the defined power threshold, and the nature of violations that are based on the alert threshold values defined.
3. To view the groups that have violated the power threshold, select the Groups option from the Entity Type drop-down
menu.
Device information that is provided by default includes details such as group name, number of times the group has violated
