Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager Version 3.0 User’s Guide

View metrics, and monitor devices and groups history

View the visual representation of the data that is collected for all devices and groups that are added to Power Manager.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisite is met:

About this task

NOTE If you are logging in as a Device Manager, only the device groups and devices that are in your scope are available for viewing and management.

For example, as a Device Manager DM1 user, you can view the device metrics only for the groups and devices in Device Manager DM1 user scope.

To view Power Manager metrics, perform the following steps:

Steps

  1. From OpenManage Enterprise, perform one of the following steps:
    • For a device:
      1. Click the Devices tab.

        All the devices that are discovered in OpenManage Enterprise are displayed.

      2. From the list of devices, click a device name.

        The details of the device are displayed on the Overview page.

      3. To view Power Manager-related information, click the Power Management and Monitoring tab.
    • For a static group:
      1. Click Devices > Static Groups > Group name.

        All the devices that are part of the static group are displayed.

      2. To view Power Manager-related information, click Group Details.
    • For a physical group, perform one of the following steps:
      1. Click Devices > Physical Hierarchy > Group name.

        All the devices that are part of the physical group are displayed.

      2. To view Power Manager-related information, click Group Details.

      OR

      1. Launch OpenManage Enterprise, and then click Plugins > Power Management > Rack View.

        The Rack View tab is displayed.

        Optional: To filter and view the data, expand the Advanced Filters option. Following is a list of categories available:
        • Group Name
        • Health State
        • Power State
        • Connection State
        • Type

        Select the categories of your choice and view the filtered data.

      2. Click the device name or IP address.
  2. If the device location data in Power Manager and the device is inconsistent, a message is displayed for devices and physical groups. Click Update Device Location and do the following.
    NOTE Before updating the location for M1000e, FX2s, and VRTX chassis, ensure that you provide the complete hierarchy information in Power Manager.
    • Select the devices.
    • Click Update Location.
    If the update fails, an alert—warning—is generated.
  3. View metrics and monitoring data in the Metrics and Monitoring History tab.
    NOTE For groups, only power, thermal, and system airflow information are displayed.
    For an enlarged view of a graph, select a section of the graph to zoom. For a simultaneous view of all the metrics at a specific time, hover over one of the graphs.
    The following metrics are displayed in a graphical format:
    • Device Metrics
      • Power
      • Thermal
      • System Usage
      • CPU Utilization
      • Memory Bandwidth Utilization
      • I/O Utilization
      • System airflow
      • Values for the following are available only when the components are available on the monitored server.
        • Overall CPU Power Consumption
        • Overall Memory Power Consumption
        • Fan Power Consumption
        • Storage Power Consumption
        • FPGA Power Consumption
    • Virtual Machine Metrics—View the power and vCPU metrics of maximum of five VMs that are available on the device.
  4. In Energy Consumption Cost and Carbon Emission, view the energy, cost, and carbon emissions associated with the following:
    • IT equipment—The devices in the data center.
    • Total facility—Energy associated with the devices, lighting, cooling, and so on.
    • Overhead—Difference of IT equipment and facility energies.
  5. To change the duration, expand the metric and select a duration from the Duration drop-down menu. Hover your mouse pointer over the graph to view the maximum, average, and minimum values. For Power, view the power cap value applied on the device by power policy or EPR for a specified duration.
    The values are displayed according to the format that you have specified in the Monitoring Units and Metric gathering interval in the Power Manager Preferences section.
    NOTE You can view only Instant temperature for PowerEdge M1000e, PowerEdge FX2, and PowerEdge FX2s chassis.
    NOTE You can view only the power, temperature, and system airflow for PowerEdge AMD processor servers.

    Based on your selection, details of the granular information available are as follows:

    Table 1. Granularity of dataGranularity of data based on the duration selected
    Duration Granularity of data
    6 Hours or 12 Hours or 1 Day Data is displayed based on the Metric gathering interval set in the Preferences section.
    7 Days or 1 Month Data is displayed at an interval of one hour.
    3 Months or 6 Months or 1 Year Data is displayed at an interval of one day.
  6. Expand Virtual Machine Metrics to view the power and vCPU usage of VMs.
  7. To view the list of all VMs associated with the device, click the tabular view icon.
  8. To view the latest metrics, click the refresh icon.
