Infrastructure - Inventory

  • The Inventory page is the multisystem view showing the configuration information for all systems in the environment. There can be up to six types of platforms from which to choose: Converged, Data Protection, HCI, Networking, Servers, and Storage. The information displayed on the Systems pages includes:

    • Version (vCenter Version for Converged) – Version of installed software
    • Last Contact Time – The last time that Infrastructure Observability received data from the system
    • Managed by (Converged only) – Type of AMP managing the Converged System
    • Location – Location where the system is installed
    • Site – Site ID with which the system is associated
    • Contract Expiration (Warranty Expiration for PowerEdge) – Expiration date for the service contract. Contract expiration is not supported for PowerFlex, PowerVault, SC Series, or PowerProtect DM.

    For systems that support the identification of system updates, there will also be an indication when a code update is available. Hovering over the information icon () opens a window showing the update version. Clicking the “Learn More” link from within the window opens a dialog with summary information and links to the Release Notes and the software download. The following shows an example of the Storage page.

    Multisystem view for storage inventory. Cards shown for each system with its version, last contact time, location, site, and contract status.

    The following example of the Networking page shows similar attributes to those displayed in the Storage page.

     Multisystem view for network inventory. Cards shown for each system with its version, last contact time, location, site, and contract status.

    The following is an example of the CONVERGED page. The user can edit the system name in the card to provide a more user-identifiable name and differentiate it when multiple systems are being monitored. Users can also use the Customize button to display different attributes in the card view.

    Multisystem view for converged inventory. Card shown for each system with its version, last contact time, location, and contract status.

    The following example of the HCI page displays the inventory of VxRail systems, APEX Hybrid Cloud Services, and APEX Private Cloud Services.

    Multisystem view for hyperconverged inventory. Cards shown for each system with its version, last contact time, location, site, and contract status.

    The following shows an example of the SERVERS page. There is a top banner summarizing the total number of servers by Health Score, Power State, and Contracts Expiring. This banner is provided for compute because of the potential for a large number of servers in Observability.

    Multisystem view for server inventory. Cards shown for each system with its network address, power status, last contact time, location, site, and contract status.

    The following example of the Data Protection tab shows both PowerProtect DD systems and PowerProtect Data Manager instances monitored by Observability.

    Multisystem view for data protection inventory. Cards shown for each system with its version, last contact time, location, site, and contract status.
