Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the power consumption on Dell computers running Linux. This script raises an event if the power consumption status is not OK, or when the power consumption falls outside configured bounds or the thresholds you set.
For information about power consumption object properties, see Section 5.1.5, PowerConsumption Properties.
This Knowledge Script requires OMSA components on the Dell computer you are monitoring. You can install these components using the srvadmin-all meta package.
Any Dell computer running Linux
The default interval for this script is Every 5 minutes.

Event Settings |
|
|
Raise event if power supply status is not OK? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the power supply status is not OK. The default is yes. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Raise event if power consumption of server is out of the specified threshold range? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the server power consumption falls outside the range you specified. The default is no. |
|
Minimum value |
Set the minimum power consumption value in Watts to define the lower bound of an acceptable power consumption range. If enabled, this job raises an event when the server power consumption falls below the acceptable power consumption range. The default is 200 Watts. |
|
Maximum value |
Set the maximum power consumption value in Watts to define the upper bound of an acceptable power consumption range. If enabled, this job raises an event when the server power consumption goes above the acceptable power consumption range. The default is 400 Watts. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Raise event if power supply reading exceeds threshold? |
Set to Yes to raise an event if the power supply output in Amperes exceeds the threshold you set. The default is no. |
|
Threshold value (in Amperage) |
Set the maximum acceptable power supply output in Amperes. If enabled, this job will raise an event when the power supply output exceeds this value. The default is 0.5. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Raise event if power consumption exceeds configured system warning or failure thresholds? |
Set to Yes to raise an event when the power consumption reaches the system defined warning or failure thresholds. The default is yes. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Raise event if AppManager fails to get metrics? |
Set to Yes to raise an event when AppManager fails to collect any information about power consumption. The default is yes. |
|
Event severity |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 5. |
|
Event severity when job fails |
Specify the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event when this job fails. The default is 5. |
|
Data Collection |
|
|
Collect data for power consumption? |
Set to Yes to collect data for the server power consumption sensors. By default, the data is not collected. |
