Table 8. Power Center events and severity levels (continued)
Type Description Severity Level
UPS Overload Events related to output power load
limits and exceeded thresholds in the
UPS.
Critical
UPS Shutdown The UPS has shutdown. Informative
UPS Temperature Threshold A UPS temperature threshold was
exceeded.
Critical
Custom events
Custom events that you have set up are automatically triggered when the custom condition threshold is reached.
Table 9. Power Center custom events
Type Description Severity Level
Average Inlet Temperature Average temperature is greater or less
than the average value you set in the
Thresholds
Critical or Warning; depends on the
threshold type
Policy Cannot Be Maintained Policy cannot be maintained because
average power consumption of devices
with power capping capability that relate
to this policy exceed the power cap
value of this policy
Critical or Warning
Policy Return To Normal Policy can now be maintained, because
power consumption is less than the
power cap value
Informative
Power Average power consumption is greater
than the average value you set in the
Thresholds.
Critical or Warning
Power Return To Normal Power consumption returned to the
normal range you set in the Thresholds
Informative
Temperature Return To Normal Temperature returned to the normal
range you set in the Thresholds
Informative
When the following changes occur, then corresponding Critical events become Informative events:
● Device/group is removed from Power Center.
● Event condition is removed from Power Center; for example, the Threshold settings.
● Event condition is updated in Power Center; for example, the Threshold settings.
● Power policy is removed or disabled.
● Policy Return To Normal event is triggered.
For example, when the Power/Temperature Return to Normal event is triggered, the corresponding Critical or Warning event
becomes an Informative event. Using the Average Inlet Temperature as an example: If you set 50 °C as the Critical threshold
and 40 °C as the Warning threshold, then Critical and Warning events are sent when the average temperature reaches 60 °C.
When the average temperature returns to 45 °C, the Critical event automatically becomes Informative. When the average
temperature returns to 35 °C, the Warning event automatically becomes Informative.
