Telemetry Streaming
Telemetry enables users to collect and stream real-time device metrics, events, and data logs from a PowerEdge server to a
subscribed external client or server application. Using Telemetry, you can set the type and frequency of reports that needs to be
generated.
NOTE: The feature is supported on all the platforms and it requires iDRAC Datacenter license.
Telemetry is one-to-many solution for collecting and streaming the live system data from one or more PowerEdge servers
(iDRAC) to a centralized 'Remote Server Monitoring, Analysis, and Alerting service'. The feature also supports on-demand data
collection of the data.
The telemetry data includes metrics/inventory and logs/events. The data can be streamed (pushed out) or collected (pulled)
from iDRAC to or by remote consumers like Redfish client and Remote Syslog Server. The telemetry data is also provided to
the iDRAC SupportAssist data collector on demand. The data collection and report is based on predefined Redfish telemetry
metrics, trigger, and report definitions. The telemetry streaming settings can be configured through RACADM, Redfish, and
Server Configuration Profile (SCP).
To configure Telemetry, enable or select the required device reports or logs that define the behavior and frequency of data
streaming. Go to Configuration > System Settings page to configure Telemetry. Data streaming is automatic until the
Telemetry is disabled.
Following table describes the metric reports that can be generated using telemetry:
