Alerts
8 Prefailure alerts provided by Dell EMC PowerEdge server systems management | ID 426
If there were an issue with the server, the ‘details’ link would show the issue as listed in the Lifecycle
Controller log.
On the “System” page, an extended view of the various components and status can be seen.
This visual provides an IT admin with quick access to key components. For example, if a warning or critical
error happens in “cooling,” the icon would change color. The admin can choose that icon to directly access
details to pinpoint and correct a warning or critical alert.
Alerts are not limited to the components mentioned previously. The iDRAC also monitors the following, with
no need for a software agent in the operating system or hypervisor:
• Network interface cards (NICs)
• Converged network adapters (CNAs)
• PowerEdge RAID controllers (PERCs)
• Chassis intrusion
