Metrics Reports
These reports are available for monitoring metrics for device groups.
• Peak Power — Provides information on the peak power consumption
values for devices, contains other details like time, unit, and so on.
• Power Budget — Provides information on the power budget, headroom,
idle power, and so on for devices.
The Peak Power and Power Budget reports are displayed in a tabular
format.
• Smart Metric Report — This feature will be available in later versions of
Dell Management Console.
Provides information on the trends of the
metric values of devices over time, by selecting the duration, devices, and
metric you can view the details in a graphical format. By clicking on a point
on the graph, you can drill-down to a table to see the values for each
device. This graph is derived from Smart metric data. When you are using
the Dell Management Console to manage a large number of devices, the
group metric report will provide much quicker response for group data,
and should be used to view groups where possible. Alternatively, the
scheduling option can be used for a report to run the report overnight so
that the data is readily accessible in the morning.
The Smart Metric report supports only these metrics: Power Monitoring
and Performance Monitor.
The Smart Metric report supports Performance Monitor metrics for the
WMI connection profile for servers with Windows operating systems, and
SNMP connection profile for servers with Linux operating systems.
However, the Smart Metric report does not support Health metrics.
• Group Metric Report — This feature will be available in later versions of
Dell Management Console. Provides information on the trends of the
metric values of groups over time, by selecting the duration and group
metric you can view the details in a graphical format. By clicking on a point
on the graph, this allows drilling down to a table to see the values for each
device which made up this point. This graph is derived from Group metric
data.
