User's Manual

The health of a component is derived by reviewing the unresolved alerts associated with the component. Severity Level
Indicators explains the various state components that the Server Management Pack Suite uses with their corresponding
severity levels.
Performance And Power Monitoring Views
To view the performance and power monitoring on the OpsMgr console:
1. Launch the OpsMgr console and click Monitoring.
2. In the Monitoring pane, click Dell → Performance and Power Monitoring for the following views:
– Ambient Temperature (Centigrade)
– Amperage (Amps)
– Energy Consumption (kWh)
– Peak Amperage (Amps)
– Peak Power (Watts)
– Physical Network Interface
– Power Consumption (Watts)
– Power Consumption (BTU/hr)
– Teamed Network Interface
– Dell Performance View
NOTE: Power monitoring is applicable only for Dell servers with power monitoring capability for a particular
attribute. It is enabled only when the detailed edition of Server In-band Monitoring feature is present.
NOTE: Teamed and Physical network interface instances are disabled by default and will appear only when
detailed edition of the Server In-band Monitoring feature is installed and is present.
NOTE: Dell Performance and Power Monitoring View is available only through the Server Out-of-band
Monitoring feature. All performance metric rules are disabled by default for Server Out-of-band Monitoring
feature.
3. Select the counters from the individual performance views and select the time range for which the values are
required.
The data collected is represented in a graphical format for each system.
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 server changes state and generates an alert. This unit monitor is disabled by
default. You can override (enable and modify) the threshold values from the Authoring pane of the OpsMgr console. Unit
monitor is available under Monitors for Dell Windows Server objects for Server In-band Monitoring feature, and is
available under Monitors for Dell Server objects for Server (Out-of-band) Monitoring feature.
For more information on performance information collection, see Performance Collection Rules.
Unit Monitors
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 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.
