16 Telemetry Operations
With iDRAC9 v4.0, Dell EMC introduced the Telemetry Streaming solution for PowerEdge servers. The
feature enables IT managers to integrate advanced server hardware operation telemetry into their existing
analytics solutions.
More information about the Telemetry Streaming solution can be found in the
Telemetry Streaming with
iDRAC9—What you Need to Get Started white paper.
Additional Telemetry information can be found on the Support for Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9
(iDRAC9) webpage under the Telemetry tab.
The Telemetry Streaming solution requires the Datacenter license. Most options are viewable in the template
regardless of license but can only be enabled and configured via SCP Import with the Datacenter license.
16.1 Example
Telemetry attributes are in the template under the iDRAC.Embedded.1 component.
<Component FQDD="iDRAC.Embedded.1">
<Attribute Name="Telemetry.1#EnableTelemetry">Enabled</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="Telemetry.1#RSyslogServer1">10.35.xxx.xxx</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="Telemetry.1#RSyslogServer1Port">xxxx</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="Telemetry.1#RSyslogServer2">10.35.xxx.xxx</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="Telemetry.1#RSyslogServer2Port">xxxx</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="TelemetryCPUSensor.1#EnableTelemetry">Enabled</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="TelemetryCPUSensor.1#ReportInterval">600</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="TelemetryCPUSensor.1#RsyslogTarget">TRUE</Attribute>
<Attribute Name="TelemetryCPUSensor.1#ReportTriggers">TMPCpuCriticalTrigger</Attribute>
</Component>
On a successful SCP Import, the configuration results will contain an entry for each successfully applied
attribute. The example below simply enables the Telemetry feature.
racadm>>lclog viewconfigresult -j JID_034846688291
SeqNumber = 8008
FQDD = iDRAC.Embedded.1
Job Name = Import Configuration
Operation Name = CHANGE
DisplayValue = Enable Telemetry
Name = Telemetry.1#EnableTelemetry
OldValue = Disabled
NewValue = Enabled
Status = Success
ErrCode = 0
16.2 Custom Metric Report Definitions
As a part of the iDRAC9 4.40.00.00 release, SCP now includes the ability to configure Telemetry’s custom
Metric Report Definitions via the ‘Include Custom Telemetry’ flag in SCP Export. This option is available via
all interfaces and a racadm example is shown below.
