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:

To know about the field descriptions of Telemetry section, see iDRAC Online Help.
NOTE:
StorageDiskSMARTDATA is only supported on SSD drives with SAS/SATA bus protocol and behind the BOSS controller.
StorageSensor data is reported only for the drives in Ready / Online / Non-RAID mode and not behind the BOSS controller.
NVMeSMARTData is only supported for SSD (PCIeSSD / NVMe Express) drives with PCIe bus protocol (not behind SWRAID).
GPGPUStatistics data is only available in specific GPGPU models that support ECC memory capability.
PSUMetrics is not available on modular platforms.
Fan Power and PCIe Power Metrics may be displayed as 0 for some platforms.
CUPS report has been renamed to SystemUsage in 4.40.00.00 release and it's supported on both INTEL and AMD platforms.
Telemetry Workflow:
1. Install Datacenter license, if not installed already.
2. Configure global Telemetry settings including Enabling the telemetry and Rsyslog server network address and port using RACADM,
Redfish, SCP, or iDRAC GUI.
3. Configure the following Telemetry report streaming parameters on the required device report or log using either RACADM or Redfish
interface:
