Indications
The Dell Command | Intel vPro Out Of Band application provides an indications feature that allows you remotely to monitor,
diagnose, and manage clients using Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) filters (indications) to monitor each client.
NOTE: More information on DMTF filters may be found at the DMTF website,www.dmtf.org.
Indications allow you to monitor diagnostic events such as:
● Motherboard failure
● CPU failure
● Power supply failure
● Memory subsystem failure
The indications feature has the following functionality:
● Settings — Set up configuration data for the feature
● Policies — Associate filters with a policy that can be applied to one or more clients
● Configure Subscriptions — Associate policies with clients on the network, and then apply the policies to the clients
● Subscription status — View and manage subscriptions
● Events — View, manage, and export events
Recommended And Optional Filters
Some indications are message intensive: when applied to a client, these filters will likely generate a large volume of messages,
and they should therefore be used with extreme caution. To avoid network congestion, only one Optional filter may be applied to
a single client on the network at a time. Supported filters are:
