Current input power consumption by SNMP
Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on monitoring the power consumption of Dell servers and I was wondering if it's possible to collect the current input power consumption by each PSU using SNMP.
I've been doing some research and managed to collect power consumption data for Gen13 - Gen14 servers with tools like racadm, ipmitool, and redfish. However, it seems that it's not possible to get real-time power consumption data for servers older than gen13.
While the OID '1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.4.600.12' does show some power-related data, it only contains state and spec data, which doesn't include current values:

Has anyone had experience with this before? If so, could you please clarify whether it's possible to collect the current input power consumption by each PSU using SNMP and if there are any specific SNMP OIDs or Dell OMSA commands that I should be used to collect this information?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello rudniev.vv,
Earlier iDRAC did not stream real time power consumption. Only recorded average:

Dear Charles R,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my message. However, I believe there may have been some confusion as your response does not seem to be related to the question I asked.
I was actually wondering if it's possible to collect the current input power consumption by each PSU (or for both) using SNMP at least for modern Dell servers and if there are any specific SNMP OIDs that I should be used to collect this information.
If you have any insights or experiences related to this topic, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share them with me.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards, Volodymyr Rudniev.
