NOTE: Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) is not supported for Dell Command | Monitor
for Linux.
Dell Command
| Monitor
manages
client systems using the Common Information Model (CIM) standard and
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which are management protocols.
This reduces the total cost of ownership, improves security, and provides
a holistic approach managing all the devices in a network including
clients, servers, storage, networking, and software devices.
Using CIM you can access
Dell Command
| Monitor
through Web Services for Management Standards (WSMAN).
Dell Command
| Monitor
contains
the underlying driver set that collects client system information
from different sources including the BIOS, CMOS, System Management
BIOS (SMBIOS), System Management Interface (SMI), operating system,
and Application Programming Interface (APIs).
Dell Command | Monitor for Windows
also collects client system information from Dynamic-Link Library
(DLLs), and registry settings.
Dell Command
| Monitor
for
Windows retrieves this information through the CIM Object Manager
(CIMOM) interface, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) stack,
or SNMP agent, where as Dell Command | monitor for Linux retrieves
this information through Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) interface.
Dell Command
| Monitor
enables
IT administrators to remotely collect asset information, modify BIOS
settings, receive proactive notifications about potential fault conditions,
and get alerts for potential security breaches. In the systems running
Windows, these alerts are available as events in the NT event log,
WMI event, or SNMP traps v1. For the systems running Linux, these
alerts are received as Syslog, OMI event, or Application log.
Dell Command
| Monitor
for
Windows can be integrated into a console such as Microsoft System
Center Configuration Manager by directly accessing the CIM information,
or through other console vendors who have implemented the
Dell Command | Monitor integration. Additionally, you can create custom scripts to target
key areas of interest. Sample scripts are available at Dell Knowledge Library
Dell Command | Monitor page. You can use these scripts to monitor
inventory, BIOS settings, and system health.
