Group Metrics
This feature will be available in later versions of Dell Management Console.
The group metric provides an interface that allows efficient data collection,
collecting data efficiently enables faster calculation for the report when
compared with the same group viewed in the Smart metric report. This
interface also allows for creating thresholds at the group level. All group
metrics will calculate sum of the specified group's values. The group metric
can only have one target at any time and this target must be the same or
contained within the policy target, both of which default to the group All
Devices with Power monitoring support that is automatically determined at
discovery time.
