By clicking
OpenManage Enterprise > Application Settings > Console Preferences, you can set the default properties of the OpenManage Enterprise GUI. For example, default time after which a device health is automatically checked and updated on the dashboard, and preferred settings used for discovering a device. The following options are available:
Report Settings: To set the maximum number of rows that you can view on OpenManage Enterprise reports:
Expand
Report Settings.
Enter a number in the
Reports row limit box. The default limit is set at 1,000 rows, however, the maximum rows permitted is 2,000,000,000.
Click
Apply. A job is run and the setting is applied.
Device Health: To set the time after which the health of the devices must be automatically monitored and updated on the OpenManage Enterprise Dashboard:
Expand
Device Health.
Enter the frequency at which the device health must be recorded and data stored.
Select:
Last Known: Display the latest recorded device health when the power connection was lost.
Unknown: Display the latest recorded device health when the device status moved to 'unknown'. A device becomes unknown to OpenManage Enterprise when the connection with iDRAC is lost and the device is not anymore monitored by OpenManage Enterprise.

Discovery Setting: Expand the Discovery Setting to set the device naming used by the OpenManage enterprise to identify the discovered iDRACs and other devices using the
General Device Naming and the
Server Device Naming settings.
NOTE The device naming choices in the General Device Naming and the Server Device Naming are independent of each other and they do not affect each other.
General Device Naming applies to all the discovered devices other than the iDRACs. Select from one of the following naming modes:
DNS
to use the DNS name.
Instrumentation (NetBIOS) to use the NetBIOS name.
NOTE
The default setting for General Device Naming is
DNS.
If any of the discovered devices do not have the DNS name or the NetBIOS name to satisfy the setting, then the appliance identifies such devices with their IP addresses.
When the
Instrumentation(NetBios) option is selected in
General Device Naming, for chassis devices the
Chassis name is displayed as the device name entry on the All Devices page.
Server Device Naming applies to iDRACs only. Select from one of the following naming modes for the discovered iDRACs:
iDRAC Hostname to use the iDRAC hostname.
System Hostname to use the system hostname.
NOTE
The default naming preference for iDRAC devices is the
System Hostname .
If any of the iDRACs do not have the iDRAC hostname or the System hostname to satisfy the setting, then the appliance identifies such iDRACs using their IP addresses.
To specify the invalid device hostnames and the common MAC addresses expand the
Advance Settings
Enter one or more invalid hostnames separated by a comma in
Invalid Device Hostname. By default, a list of invalid device hostname is populated.
