3.21 VoltageProbe

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the voltage level for a Dell server. This Knowledge Script raises an event if the voltage drops below or exceeds the normal operating threshold. The Dell server defines the voltage levels for normal operation.

3.21.1 Resource Objects

Voltage icon

3.21.2 Default Schedule

The default interval is Every 10 minutes.

3.21.3 Setting Parameter Values

Set the following parameters as needed.

Description

How To Set It

Event?

Set to y to raise events. The default is y.

Collect data?

Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If set to y, this Knowledge Script records the voltage (in volts) at each monitoring interval. The default is n.

Community

Set the community string in Security Manager for Dell OpenManage server Agent or Dell-iDRAC resources:

  • Provide the SNMP community string that is required to access Dell OpenManage or iDRAC resources. If it is empty, then the community string configured in the security manager will be used. Refer Section 2.8, “Configuring SNMP,” of Management Guide to know how to configure the security manager.

    If community string is not configured in the security manger, then by default, Public will be used as the community string.

Raise only one event if SNMP down?

Set to y to raise only a single event rather than an event for each monitored object when the SNMP service is down. The default is y.

Event severity for SNMP or Dell Managed Node failure

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the SNMP service or Dell Managed Node failed. The default is 10.

Event severity when SNMP restored

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the SNMP service has been restored. The default is 30.

Event severity when voltage level exceed critical threshold

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the voltage level exceeded the critical threshold. The default is 10.

Event severity when voltage level near critical threshold

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the voltage level is near the critical threshold. The default is 20.

Event severity when voltage not known or not monitored

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the voltage level is not known or not monitored. The default is 30.
