NOTE: The total number of alerts in the Donut chart varies based on the setting to whether or not view the
unacknowledged alerts. By default, only the unacknowledged alerts are displayed. See Customize the alert display on
page 158.
● The firmware version compliance of a device against the version on the catalog: See Manage the device firmware and drivers
on page 72.
● The configuration compliance baseline of devices and device groups: See Managing the device configuration compliance on
page 104.
NOTE: The compliance level of the selected device in indicated by a Donut chart. When more than one device is associated
with a baseline, the status of a device with the least compliance level to the baseline is indicated as the compliance level of
that baseline. For example, if many devices are associated to a firmware baseline, and the compliance level of few devices
is Healthy or Downgrade , but if the compliance of one device in the group is Upgrade , the compliance level of
the firmware baseline is indicated as Upgrade. The rollup status is equal to the status of the device that has high severity.
For more information about Rollup Health status, see the MANAGING THE ROLLUP HEALTH STATUS BY USING IDRAC ON
THE DELL EMC 14TH GENERATION AND LATER POWEREDGE SERVERS technical white paper on the Dell TechCenter.
NOTE: The Donut chart of a single device is formed by a thick circle by using only one color that indicates the device
firmware compliance level. For example, for a device in Critical state, a red color circle is displayed indicating that the device
firmware must be updated.
Device health statuses
Table 12. Device health statuses in OpenManage Enterprise
