Monitor devices by using the OpenManage Enterprise dashboard

NOTE To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage Enterprise.

Apart from the first-time login, Dashboard is the first page you see after every subsequent login to OpenManage Enterprise.

To open the Dashboard page from any page of OpenManage Enterprise, click the dashboard symbol in the upper-left corner. Alternately, click Home.

Using the real-time monitoring data, the dashboard displays the device health, firmware/driver compliance, warranty, alerts, and other aspects of devices and device groups in your data center environment.

Any available console updates are also displayed on the Dashboard. You can upgrade the OpenManage Enterprise version immediately, or set OpenManage Enterprise to remind you later.

By default, when you start the application the first time, the Dashboard page appears empty. Add devices to OpenManage Enterprise so that they can be monitored and displayed on the dashboard. To add devices, see Discovering devices for monitoring or management and Organize devices into groups.

NOTE If you select any device group in the Device Groups drop down, then all the data displayed on the Dashboard will be for only the selected device group.

By default, the Hardware Health section displays a Donut chart that indicates the current health of all the devices monitored by OpenManage Enterprise. Click sections of the Donut chart to view information about devices with respective health statuses.

A Donut in the Alerts section lists the alerts received by devices in the selected device groups. See Monitor and Manage device alerts. The total number of alerts in the Donut chart varies based on the setting to whether or not view the unacknowledged alerts. By default, only the unacknowledged alerts are displayed. See Customize the alert display. To view alerts under each category, click the respective color bands. In the Alerts dialog box, the Critical section lists the alerts in critical status. To view all the generated alerts, click All. The SOURCE NAME column indicates the device that generated the alert. Click the name to view and configure device properties. See View and configure individual devices.

For more information about a Donut chart, see Donut chart and Device health statuses. To view the summary of devices in a different device group monitored by OpenManage Enterprise, select from the Device Groups drop-down menu. To view the list of devices that belong to a health state, you can either click the color band associated with a health category, or click the respective health status symbol next to a Donut chart.

NOTE In the Devices list, click the device name or IP address to view device configuration data, and then edit. See View and configure individual devices.
The Widgets section provides a summary of some of the key features of OpenManage Enterprise. To view summary under each category, click the Widget title.
  • Warranty: Displays the number of devices whose warranty is about to expire. This is based on the Warranty Settings. If the user opts for expire warranty notification, then the number of devices whose warranty is expired is shown. Otherwise, the number of expiring soon or the active warranty count is shown. Click to view more information in the Warranty dialog box. For information about managing device warranty, see Manage the device warranty. Pause the pointer over the Warranty section to read definitions about the symbols used in the section.
  • Firmware/Drivers: Displays the status of firmware/driver compliance of the device baselines created on OpenManage Enterprise. If available, the Critical and Warning firmware/driver baselines are listed in this section.
    • For more information about Rollup Health status, see the MANAGING THE ROLLUP HEALTH STATUS BY USING IDRAC ON THE DELL EMC 14TH GENERATION AND LATER POWEREDGE SERVERS technical white paper on the Dell TechCenter.
    • Click to view more information in the Firmware/Driver Compliance page.
    • For information about updating a firmware, creating firmware catalog, creating firmware baseline, and generating baseline compliance report, see Manage the device firmware and drivers.
  • Configuration: Displays the rolledup status of configuration compliance baselines created on OpenManage Enterprise. If available, the Critical and Warning configuration baselines are listed. See Manage compliance templates.
  • Resource Utilization: Displays the CPU and the memory utilization by the appliance. The following color-coded checks are used to indicate the various stages of utilization:
    • Green — A less than 80% utilization of the resource
    • Yellow — A greater than 80% but less than 95% utilization of the resource
    • Red — A greater than 95% utilization of the resource
    NOTE The overall resource utilization, shown as a color-coded vertical bar on the left of the widget, is the worst-case rollup of any of the resource.
