based devices.

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).
