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.
