2.4 Calculation of metrics for physical groups including PDU devices
Following is an example of how the metrics is calculated for physical groups including PDU devices.
Consider the following physical group hierarchy-
Example physical hierarchy
The graphs in Metrics and Monitoring History of Rack-1 show the following data:
• all the metrics of pdu-1
• sum of all the metrics of r1-dev-1 And r1-dev-2
The graphs in Metrics and Monitoring History of Rack-2 show the following data:
• all the metrics of pdu-2
• all the metrics of r2-Dev-1
Graphs in Metrics and Monitoring History of Rack-3 is similar to graphs of Rack-2.
The graphs in Metrics and Monitoring History of Aisle-1 show the following data:
• sum of all the metrics of all devices (including PDU devices) in all the three rack groups (such as
Rack-1, Rack-2 and Rack-3).
