With Bare Metal Orchestrator, you can collect metrics for one or multiple servers in your network. When enabled, metrics are polled every 15 minutes. A snapshot of only the last metrics that were collected are retained in the metrics report.
- Create metrics reports to collect statistics for one or more servers and verify the creation.
- Create metrics reports to collect server statistics using hardware profiles and to verify the creation.
- Update metrics report collection.
- Stop metrics report collection.
Metrics reports can collect one or more of the following statistics:
- CPU utilization: System usage as a percentage. Not all platforms support collection of this data.
- Memory utilization: System memory usage as a percentage. Not all platforms support collection of this data.
- Power usage: Power consumption for all CPUs, DIMMs, system input, and system output.
- Temperature: Device temperature sensor metric report. Note: Intel®® vRAN Dedicated Accelerator ACC100 card temperature metrics are supported for 15G PowerEdge XR11 Rack Servers only and are included in this report if the server contains an Intel®® vRAN Dedicated Accelerator ACC100 card.
