OpenManage Essentials Portal

The OME Portal provides a high level view of your datacenter. Charts give the administrator insight into hardware alerts, device health status and the types of devices being managed. Information that used to be obtained through navigating through the product can now be seen from a few clicks on the portal page. The Homepage content is pinned which can be moved around and resized on the page to customize the view. Additional reports can be added to the portal page to provide additional information at a glance.

OpenManage Essentials Device Tree

The device tree gives the administrator the ability to see the different categories of devices in the datacenter along with a "roll-up" health status. Clicking on the top level node for each category (e.g., Server, Network Device) will show the health status, power status and overview information for the device. Clicking on the device itself will show the extensive hardware inventory that was collected along with alerts and system event (SEL) logs. Right-click options provide a quick way to remotely connect as well as launch the element managers of the device.
