Monitoring
After you install the Dell Server Management Pack Suite, you can use the Monitoring pane of the OpsMgr to select views that
provide health information of the discovered Dell servers. The Agent-free monitoring feature discovers and monitors the health
of the Dell servers. The Severity Level Indicators indicates the health of the Dell servers on the network. It includes monitoring
health of Dell modular, monolithic systems and supported Dell Precision Racks and their components at regular intervals and on
occurrence of events.
As the system components monitored through Agent-based monitoring feature and Agent-free monitoring feature are not
exactly the same, it is possible that the overall server health that is shown through Agent-based (OMSA) and Agent-free
(iDRAC) methods could be different. Drill-down to the specific component status when you observe such discrepancies to
resolve specific problem conditions in the system component to bring the overall health of the server to OK state.
