Overview of iDRAC Telemetry
Telemetry is a feature for collecting and streaming live system data from PowerEdge servers to a centralized monitoring service. It supports on-demand data collection and includes metrics such as server performance, health, power, and thermal data. Telemetry requires an iDRAC Datacenter license and is supported on 14G or newer generation platforms.
Telemetry is a one-to-many solution for collecting and streaming live system data from one or more PowerEdge servers to a centralized Remote Server Monitoring, Analysis, and Alerting service. This feature also supports on-demand data collection.
Telemetry data includes metrics such as server and storage performance, health, power, and thermal status. The data can be either streamed (pushed) or collected (pulled) from iDRAC by remote consumers such as Redfish clients.
Telemetry is provided as a granular, time-series report that is streamed or pushed. These telemetry reports are also included in the SupportAssist collection. Data collection and reporting are based on predefined and custom Metric Report Definitions (MRDs) and triggers.
Telemetry streaming settings can be configured using the iDRAC web interface, RACADM, Redfish, or Server Configuration Profile (SCP).
NOTE:
- Telemetry feature is supported on Dell 14th generation (14G) of PowerEdge servers or newer and requires an iDRAC Datacenter license.
- Current Telemetry subscription information is not available through RACADM command on iDRAC10 but is available on iDRAC9.
- There may be differences in how commands are performed in iDRAC9 compared to iDRAC10. Any such variations are highlighted throughout the documentation.
