Figure 3 – A time lapse Grafana plot of iDRAC telemetry CPUMemMetrics metric values
A step-by-step outline of workflow involved to set up such a plot is summarized below:
1) All prerequisites like iDRAC9 Datacenter licensing requirements are met.
2) Enable Telemetry Steaming in iDRAC9 GUI, RACADM, or Redfish APIs.
3) Enable the required reports to use iDRAC or Redfish APIs.
4) Set up telemetry HTTP subscription remote syslog or SSE-based streams.
5) Gather data available through the streams to store at big databases like InfluxDB to perform necessary
server-side analytics and plotting.
