Dell iDRAC Telemetry Reference Guide

Configuring Telemetry

By default, the Telemetry service and individual predefined reports are disabled. To configure Telemetry, the user must enable the Telemetry service and activate the required reports. Additionally, if streaming telemetry data is required, the user must configure the appropriate streaming destinations (subscriptions) to ensure that the data is delivered as expected.

Typically, reports are streamed based on a configured ReportInterval condition, but they can also be streamed under error or warning conditions that are known as Triggers, if configured. Trigger definitions are based on iDRAC lifecycle events that are generated for error and warning conditions, or based on user-defined numeric and discrete metric conditions.
