Infrastructure Observability supports the monitoring of PowerEdge servers and modular chassis through a plug-in to OpenManage Enterprise. The multisystem views for servers have been discussed earlier in this paper. This section documents the available information in the system details page for a PowerEdge server. Each server has the Health, Inventory, and Performance tab, and will have a Cybersecurity tab if that feature is enabled. Each tab provides a link to view the server in OpenManage Enterprise. The details of each tab are described in the following sections.
Each tab also provides an Actions menu. If remote operations are enabled in OpenManage Enterprise, and the Observability user has a role of Server Admin, then that user can perform maintenance actions on the PowerEdge system. These actions include blinking the LED to help locate the server in the data center. Users can also perform power control operations such as power on, power off, and shutdown. The sync device option refreshes the server to retrieve the latest data for inventory, health, alerts, and cybersecurity.
