Monitoring
After you install the Dell Server Management Pack Suite, you can use the Monitoring pane of the OpsMgr to select views that
provide complete health information of the discovered Dell DRAC devices. The DRAC monitoring feature discovers and monitors
the health of the Dell DRAC devices. It includes monitoring health of Dell DRAC devices, both at regular intervals and on
occurrence of events. The Severity Level Indicators indicates the health of the Dell DRAC devices on the network.
NOTE:
To monitor the health of DRAC devices, associate the community string Run As account with the SNMP Monitoring
Account with the target as Dell Remote Access Controller class or respective DRAC object (if you have different Run As
accounts for different DRAC devices).
