Network Switches monitoring feature in OMIMSSC
The Dell EMC Network Switch monitoring feature discovers and monitors the health of Dell EMC Network Switches. You can
use the Monitoring pane of the SCOM console to select views that provide complete health information of the discovered Dell
EMC Network switches. The Severity levels of discovered devices on page 102 indicates the health of the Dell EMC Network
Switches on the network.
The Dell EMC Network Switch monitoring feature includes monitoring the health of the Dell EMC Network Switches—both at
regular intervals and on occurrence of health state changes.
NOTE: When you are monitoring the health of network switches, associate the community string Run As Account with the
SNMP Monitoring Account that is targeted at the Dell EMC Network switch class or respective switch object (if you have
different Run As Accounts for different Network switch devices).
