Monitoring for both Facilities & IT devices and sending alerts when threshold levels are breached
- Building Management Systems via BACNet/IP
- UPS systems via SNMP or Modbus/TCP
- Power utility meters (integration with multi-vendor Energy meters via SNMP or Modbus/TCP)
- Back-up generators via Modbus/TCP
- Fuel tanks through flow sensors
- Chiller plants & PAC units (Modbus/TCP or SNMP)
- Rack Power & temperature (through Packet Power Smart Power cables and Environment Monitoring Units/temperature probes)
- Rack iPDU up to socket level to provide individual power monitoring for devices
- SNMP & WMI enabled Servers for CPU and memory utilization
- Smoke detection & fire prevention systems
- Access control & surveillance cameras (through SNMP or vendor-provided SDK)
- Dry Contacts (NO/NC)
Besides email or SMS alerts, monitoring yields user-defined periodic reports and trend graphs

Alarm Report
Threshold levels for each device and monitored parameters are defined in DCIM Policies. One can define multiple thresholds with multi-color alarm codes. Alarms are delivered via mobile texts, emails or via SNMP Trap to a Ticketing system. Alerts would be sent if a device has become unreachable or a parameter is not getting monitored.
Monitoring and Alarm Management help to reduce risks of a data center failure.
