The Power Manager plugin and ServiceNow integration made it easy to monitor a temperature-based incident as well as proactively throttle power in a temperature-triggered EPR (Emergency Power Reduction) test scenario. After a one-time policy-based automation setup, OME automatically generated incident reports for human follow- up. Once we fixed the problems, alerts on both consoles notified us that the incidents were resolved.
Table 1: Admin time and effort needed to monitor a temperature- based incident and create the incident resolution using Power Manager with OMISNOW (after the one-time policy-based automation setup) and a manual event-monitoring and incident creation method. Lower is better.
