3.3 Power and Thermal Report of Groups
Type: Built-in and custom
Description: This report captures power and thermal data of all groups that are monitored by Power
Manager over a certain time period. The groups contain different types of devices as per your
preferences.
Advantages: The benefit of this report is that you get a consolidated report of the power and thermal data
of all devices being monitored in Power Manager based on the report duration and granularity configured
in Power Manager settings. You can further use this consolidated report for statistical analysis for all
devices data in a single report.
This report is extended to support the PDU metrics as well.
In this report two new columns have been introduced to display the PDU metrics over a period for a
group.
• Instant Power Metering through PDU(s) (Watt) – This column displays the instant power
consumption by the PDUs for a group.
• Energy Consumption through PDUs (KWH) – This column displays the energy consumed by
the PDU for a group.
Note: These columns are also introduced in group power and thermal metrics section of custom reports.
