Managing reports
This chapter provides information on periodically generating reports for inventory and monitoring and managing the reports.
Pre-dened templates are provided to help you generate the reports. By default, the reports are generated in HTML format. You can
download the reports in XML or CSV format.
In the left pane, click Reports. The Reports screen is displayed. On this screen, you can:
• View report details
• Create reports
• Edit reports
• Delete reports
• Refresh the reports list
• Add or edit report groups
• Set estimated max power
• Filter reports
The following types of reports can be generated using OpenManage Power Center:
• Power Hoarders — The Power Hoarder report displays the devices that are the largest consumers of power. The result is calculated
considering the highest average power consumption of the devices over a specic time period.
• Power Frugal — The Power Frugal report displays the devices that are the least consumers of power. The result is calculated
considering the lowest average power consumption of the devices over a specic time period.
• Power Data — The Power Data report displays the power consumption data for the selected devices or device groups. The data
comprises of the minimum, maximum, highest or lowest average power consumption.
• Power Headroom — The Power Headroom report displays the total power consumption and the unused power data for the selected
devices or device groups.
• General Inventory — The General Inventory report displays the inventory data for the selected devices or device groups.
• Power Hoarders Rack — The Power Hoarders Rack report displays the rack devices that are the maximum power consumers. The
result is calculated considering the lowest headroom of the devices over a specic time period.
• Power Frugal Rack — The Power Frugal Rack report displays the rack devices that are the least power consumers. The result is
calculated considering the highest headroom of the devices over a specic time period.
• Raw Monitoring Data — The Raw Monitoring Data report displays the monitoring data for the selected devices or device groups.
• Comparison Report — The Comparison report displays the result obtained on comparing a minimum of two or a maximum of three
devices or device groups.
• Thermal Data — The Thermal data report displays the observed temperature values for the selected devices or device groups.
• Power Utilization — The Power utilization report displays the power utilization for the selected devices or device groups.
• Power Threshold Violations — The Power threshold violation reports displays the information about the power threshold violations for
the selected devices or device groups.
• Power Cap Violations — The Power cap violations report displays the violations observed in the device or the device group power cap
level.
• Power Cap Settings — The Power cap settings report displays the settings of the device or the device group power cap level.
• Threshold Settings — The Threshold settings report displays the threshold settings of the device or the device group.
• Rack Fragmentation Hoarders — The Rack fragmentation hoarders report displays the racks that are the most fragmented.
• Rack Space Hoarders — The Rack space hoarders report displays the racks with the highest rack space utilization.
• Rack Space Frugal — The Rack space frugal report displays the racks with the lowest rack space utilization.
