Event Management
This chapter provides information on event types, severity levels, supported UPS/PDU events, and how to manage Power Center events.
You can receive events indicating an abnormal power/temperature situation in the data center. Power Center detects:
• Pre-dened events
• Custom events
Power Center uses port 6553 to listen for internal events. If another application is congured to use port 6553, you must change it to
reserve port 6533 for Power Center.
Power Center uses port 162 to listen for events from external devices. If the SNMP Trap service exists and uses port 162, Power Center
automatically uses port 1162 to receive external events forwarded by the SNMP trap service.
In the left pane, click Events. The Events screen is displayed. On this screen, you can:
• Acknowledge Events
• Add a note to an event
• Delete events
• Sort events
• Filter events
• Export events
Topics:
• Pre-dened events

Pre-dened events
A predened event is an event that Power Center denes based on system conditions. Device support for events includes:
• UPS/PDU devices – To receive events, you must subscribe to the event from the console of that PDU or UPS.
• PowerEdge tower and rack servers – Support all IPMI events (IPMI Power Unit, IPMI Power Supply, IPMI Processor Temperature Trip,
IPMI Fan).
