CloudIQ is the AI and machine learning-powered, proactive monitoring, and predictive analytics, cloud-based application for the Dell product portfolio. The CloudIQ portal helps you:
Reduce risk with proactive health scores, performance impact and anomaly detection, and workload contention analysis.
Plan ahead with short-term capacity full prediction, long-term capacity forecasting, and capacity anomaly detection.
Improve productivity with a single portal that proactively monitors and predictively analyzes your Dell infrastructure.
For CloudIQ access, Dell systems must have ProSupport and ProSupport Plus service coverage. CloudIQ supports a broad range of Dell products for IT infrastructure and, from this list, the following product categories are also supported in the MyService360 experience: Eligible storage, storage area network, data protection, hyperconverged, and converged systems.
MyService360 is a personalized cloud-based dashboard that simplifies complex datasets for support and services into actionable intelligence. Move seamlessly from real-time analytics and data visualizations across your complex infrastructure, to online self-service, and an end-to-end service history for Dell products. Learn more and get resources at MyService360 Knowledge Center.
MyService360 displays the CloudIQ Health Score in INSTALL BASE within the table views for Connectivity. This is for the Dell systems that are supported and enabled in both the MyService360 and CloudIQ portals.
The CloudIQ Health Score range for monitored systems is displayed in MyService360 as follows:
Figure 1: Example of CloudIQ Health Score column in an Install Base view.
CloudIQ leverages a suite of advanced analytics to determine the proactive Health Score for a system. Users can quickly identify the systems at highest risk in their environment. This is a number ranging from 100 to 0, with 100 being a perfect Health Score, and assesses up to five categories; Components, Configuration, Capacity, Performance, and Data Protection. The details of the issues in each category that make up the Health Score can only be found in the CloudIQ dashboard. Learn more in the CloudIQ white paper.
From your MyService360 view, you can click the Good, Fair, or Poor status message to launch your CloudIQ dashboard in a separate browser tab. You are shown the Health tab for the specific Dell system in your CloudIQ view where you can find more details.
MyService360 may also display the following messages when a Health Score is unavailable:

In addition,
In CloudIQ, Performance anomaly content only displays for Dell PowerMax, PowerStore, PowerVault ME Series, SC Series, Unity, VMAX, and XtremIO systems. Capacity anomaly content only displays for Dell PowerMax, PowerVault ME Series, Unity, and VMAX systems.
CloudIQ displays Connectrix switches, and APEX Data Storage Services, Converged, Dell Isilon, PowerFlex, PowerMax, PowerProtect DD series, PowerProtect Data Manager, PowerScale, PowerStore, Unity, VMAX, VxRail, and XtremIO systems based on the SiteID as defined in the Install Base. PowerVault ME Series, PowerSwitch, and SC Series systems are not available in the Install Base.
When PowerVault ME Series and PowerSwitch systems are added, CloudIQ creates a default site for the system using its Service Tag, with a prefix of Site-. Subsequent users from the same company who add that same PowerVault ME Series systems are added as users with site visibility to that site.
When a user adds an SC Series system, CloudIQ creates a default site for the system using its serial number, with a prefix of Site-. Subsequent users from the same company, who add that same SC Series system, are added as users with site visibility to that site.
