Importing Monitoring Features Using Dell Feature Management Dashboard
NOTE: In a distributed setup (including distributed resource pool in OpsMgr 2012), Dell Feature Monitoring MP
identifies one management server amongst the list of management servers to host all feature management
activities such as discoveries, alerts, and tasks.
Dell Feature Management Dashboard allows you to discover the available Dell Server Management Pack Suite’s
Monitoring features and enable them automatically importing, upgrading, and removing the management packs that are
required by a particular feature.
The Feature Management Dashboard runs on all the management servers in a distributed environment to discover a
Feature Management Host Server. Depending on the timing of discovery on each of the management servers, the
dashboard may get populated in duration varying from a few minutes to maximum of a day’s cycle. To populate the
dashboard within 40 minutes, decrease the frequency of the Discovery elements Dell Feature Management Host
Discovery to a minimum of 15 minutes and Dell Registry based Server Management Suite Discovery to a minimum of 10
minutes. It is recommended to revert the overrides made to the Discoveries once the Feature Management Dashboard is
populated. To import monitoring features:
1. Launch OpsMgr console.
2. From the Navigation pane, click Monitoring.
3. Expand Monitoring → Dell → Feature Management Dashboard.
