Connection Status OFF but Health Status good

Question

We have started using Dell OME to monitor our customer's servers.  There seems to be a clear separation of Connection Status and Health status - a server can be off but the status shows as Healthy (I assume this status is based on the last successful poll).  This is different from IT Assistant which we used previously - that would indicate 'down' with a down arrow on the system's icon.  Is there a way to replicate the IT Assistant behaviour?  We would like to be able to visually scan down the server list & immediately see all servers which are either down or non-healthy.   Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for the post. Yep, last successful poll as you say is correct.

ITA had that overlay arrow icon which we don't have in OME. If you click on the top level node, like "Servers", you can see the two icons side by side. That might be a small help.

Regards,

Rob
