Base Metrics Profile 161
1 Scope 162
The DCIM Base Metrics Profile extends the DMTF Base Metrics Profile to add Dell specific 163
implementation requirements for power related metrics. The profile standardizes the units and description 164
for the metrics as well as provides static methodology for the clients to query the metrics without 165
substantial traversal of the model. 166
The metrics covered in this profile are: 167
• For power: 168
o Maximum power consumption metric in Watts, 169
o Maximum power consumption metric in Amperes, 170
o Minimum power consumption metric in Watts, 171
o Energy consumption metric in kilowatt-hours (kWh), 172
o Maximum power consumption metric in Watts for last minute, hour, day, week, 173
o Minimum power consumption metric in Watts for last minute, hour, day, week, 174
o Average power consumption metric in Watts for last minute, hour, day, week, 175
o Maximum headroom power consumption metric,
176
o Instantaneous headroom power consumption metric. 177
