Issue 2:
Description
"Duplicate Device Names Throws Repeating Key Value Error in Metric Collection"
Monitoring multiple devices with a duplicate device name is not supported by the plug-in. However, if
the plug-in is attempted to run with duplicate device names, an error will occur when attempting to
view "Devices" and "Device Details" in the Plug-in's All Metrics view. An error similar to "Result has
repeating key value ..." is displayed. [DOEP-114]
Issue 3:
Description
"Using Periods in Dell OpenManage Essentials (Home) Target Name Breaks Data Collection of Specific
Metrics"
During the Dell OpenManage Essentials target creation process, providing an instance name containing a
period will cause certain metrics in the plug-in to not be collected. [DOEP-119]
Workaround:
When configuring the Dell OpenManage Essentials plug-in, ensure that the "Instance Name" value does
not contain a period.
