Type Description Severity Level
event is only applicable to a device
that has a policy applied. When you
see such an event, check the policy
on the device.
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 Power Average power consumption is
greater than the average value you
set in the Thresholds
Critical or Warning; depends on the
threshold type
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
Max Power Power consumption is greater than
the maximum 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
Policy Return To Normal Policy can now be maintained,
because power consumption is less
than the power cap value
Informative
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 .
