Monitoring
After you install the Dell EMC Server Management Pack Suite and Configuration Management pack for Dell EMC OMIMSSC, you can use
the Monitoring pane of the Operations Manager to select views that provide health information of the discovered Dell EMC PowerEdge
Servers. The Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature discovers and monitors the health of the Dell
EMC PowerEdge Servers.
NOTE: To receive SNMP alerts from devices discovered through the iDRAC access via Host OS feature, you must install
SNMP services on the Managed Node and set the Management Server IP address as the trap destination in the SNMP
Services.
To install SNMP services on the Managed Node, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to Server Manager > Roles and Features > Features for the managed node.
2. Install SNMP Services.
3. From the list of available services, right-click SNMP Services and select Properties.
4. In the SNMP Services Properties (Local Computer) window, select the Traps tab.
5. Set a Community string in the Community name field and provide the Management Server IP address in the Trap
Destinations field and then click OK.
You will now be able to receive SNMP traps for the node discovered through iSM using the iDRAC access via Host OS
(Experimental) method.
The Severity Level Indicators indicates the health of the Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers on the network. It includes monitoring health of
Modular, Monolithic systems and supported Dell Precision Racks and their components at regular intervals.
As the system components monitored through Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring, which is a license free monitoring
feature, and the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature are not exactly the same, it is possible that
the overall server health that is shown through license-free (OMSA) and licensed (iDRAC–WS-MAN, iDRAC access via Host OS, or iSM–
WMI) methods could be different. Drill-down to the specific component status when you observe such discrepancies to resolve specific
problem conditions in the system component to bring the overall health of the server to OK state.
