Data about the total RAM consumed to test the Configuration Inventory feature of OpenManage Enterprise on
multiple PowerEdge servers
3.4 Test setup and results of the Alert and Task Management feature
in OpenManage Enterprise 3.2
• Reception of alerts is supported till 30 alerts per second continuously with no alert actions configured.
• With all the alerts actions configured, reception of alerts is supported till 9 alerts per second with a
possibility of 25% alert drop, if continued for long duration. Restarting services will help receive more
number of alerts if such a situation happens.
• In case of an alert burst with alert actions configured, reception of alerts is supported till 30 alerts per
second for 5 mins. There might be an alert drop after that if the alert burst continues. Once the alert
frequency slows down, the alert reception will get back to normal.
• When 50,000 events are generated together in the environment (all discovered servers generate
multiple events simultaneously), then all the events are received without any alert drop.
• The time taken to receive 50,000 events at the rate of 30 alerts per second is approximately 40 mins
when no alert actions are configured. This time is the overall reception of all the events without any
loss.
• The reception of alerts on WAN till a bandwidth of 10 Mbps with 500 ms delay is supported for an alert
frequency of 30 alerts per second and lesser.
• CPU and memory data for alerts with alert actions configured was captured for a reception of 50,000
alerts, at 9 alerts per second, for 2 cycles, with an interval of 2 hours between each cycle. All alert
actions, except the alert-ignore action, were configured.
• The alert burst data was captured by generating 50,000 alerts together in the network and received by
OpenManage Enterprise. Alert actions were not configured.
