View performance and power monitoring of PowerEdge servers

Steps

  2. Select Dell EMC > Dell EMC Performance and Power Monitoring Views.
    NOTE: All performance metric rules are disabled by default for Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring (Licensed) feature.

    For more information about the available performance and power monitoring views, see Performance and power monitoring views displayed by different monitoring features of OMIMSSC.

  3. To view the System Board Usage metrics, select Dell EMC Performance and Power Monitoring > Dell EMC System Board Usage. See Performance and power monitoring views displayed by different monitoring features of OMIMSSC.
  4. Select the counters from the individual performance views and select the time range for which the values are required.
    The data that are collected is represented in a graphical format for each system.

Results

A unit monitor monitors the performance counter over two successive cycles to check if it exceeds the configured critical threshold value. When the critical threshold value is exceeded, the server changes state and a critical alert is generated. This unit monitor is disabled by default. You can override (enable) the threshold values from the Authoring pane of the SCOM console. Unit monitors are available under the Dell Server objects for the Licensed monitoring feature. To enable the unit monitors and set threshold values of unit monitors, see Enable performance and power monitoring unit monitors.
NOTE: Power monitoring is applicable only for Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers with power monitoring capability attribute. It is enabled only when the detailed edition of Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature is present.
NOTE: Disk Performance View - iSM (%) is disabled by default and appears only when the detailed edition of the Dell EMC Server and Rack Workstation Monitoring feature is installed and imported.
