Users Guide
• Query Group: Groups that are dynamically defined by matching user-specified criteria. Devices in the group change based on the
result of devices that are discovered by using criteria. For example, a query is run to discover servers that are assigned to the Finance
department. However, the Query Groups have a flat structure without any hierarchy.
NOTE: Static and Query groups:
• Cannot be mixed.
• Cannot have more than one parent group. Meaning, a group cannot be added as a sub-group under its parent group.
NOTE: Creating more number of Custom (Query) groups in the device group hierarchy impacts the overall performance
of OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release. For optimized performance, OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release captures
the health-rollup status after every 10 seconds—having more number of Dynamic groups affects this performance.
On the All Devices page, in the left pane, you can create child groups under the parent Static and Query group. See Creating or editing a
Static device group and Creating a Query device group.
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release, you must have necessary user privileges. See
Role-based OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges.
To delete the child group of a Static or Query group:
1. Right-click the Static or Query group, and then click Delete.
2. When prompted, click YES. The group is deleted and the list under the group is updated.

Donut chart
You can view a Donut chart in different sections of your OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release. The output displayed by the Donut chart
is based on the items you select in a table. A Donut chart indicates multiple statuses in OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release:
• The health status of devices: Displayed on the Dashboard page. Colors in the Donut chart split the ring proportionally to indicate the
health of devices monitored by OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release. Every device status is indicated by a color symbol. See Device
health statuses. If the Donut chart indicates the health status of 279 devices in the group, in which 131=critical, 50=warning, and
95=ok, the circle is formed by using color bands proportionately representing these numbers.
NOTE:
The Donut chart of a single device is formed by a thick circle by using only one color that indicates the device
status. For example, for a device in Warning state, a yellow color circle is displayed.
• The alert statuses of devices: Indicates the total alerts generated for the devices monitored by OpenManage Enterprise–Tech
Release. See Monitoring device alerts.
• The firmware version compliance of a device against the version on the catalog: See Managing the device firmware.
• The configuration compliance baseline of devices and device groups: See Managing the device configuration compliance baseline.
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

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.
