Dell EMC Windows Server Agent-based and iDRAC7 or
iDRAC8 SNMP Management Pack Unit Monitors
A unit monitor monitors the performance counter over two successive cycles to check if it exceeds a threshold value. When the
threshold value is exceeded, the Dell EMC PowerEdge Server changes state and generates an alert. This unit monitor is disabled
by default. You can override (enable) the threshold values in the Authoring pane of the SCOM console. Unit monitors are
available under Dell Windows Server objects for the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature. To enable the
threshold values of unit monitors, see Enable performance and power monitoring unit monitors on page 16. Dell Unit monitors
assess the various conditions that can occur in monitored objects. The result of this assessment determines the health state of
a target.
The Dell unit monitors are:
● Event Monitor—Triggered by the event that the Dell instrumentation logs in the Windows event log indicating the health of
the corresponding object.
● Periodic Monitor—Triggered by a periodic poll that is configured as Interval Seconds.
