eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by HwStatusTest

This test monitors the overall status of the hardware of a server and also serves as an effective health indicator for the following system components:

  • Chassis
  • Power supply units
  • Voltage probes
  • Cooling units
  • Temperature probes
  • Memory devices
This test can work only on servers with a Dell OpenManage or HP/Compaq Insight agent. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
System Monitors the overall status of the system Number A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system.
Chassis Monitors the status of each chassis of the system. This measure is available for Dell Servers only Number  
Power_supply Represents the overall state of all the power supply units on this server Number A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system.
Voltage Represents the combined state of all voltage probes on this system Number Multiple values may be provided if there are multiple chassis on the system. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system. This value is available only for Dell servers.
Amperage Represents the combined amperage status of all amperage probes on this system Number Multiple values may be provided if there are multiple chassis on the system. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system. This value is available only for Dell servers.
Cooling_unit Represents the combined status of all the cooling devices/fans of the system Number Multiple values may be provided if there are multiple chassis on the system. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system.
Temperature Represents the combined status of all temperature probes of the system Number Multiple values may be provided if there are multiple chassis on the system. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system.
Memory_device Represents the combined status of all memory devices of the system Number Multiple values may be provided if there are multiple chassis on the system. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system.
Chassis_intrusion Represents the combined status of all intrusion detection devices on thesystem Number Multiple values may be provided if there are multiple chassis on the system. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a non-critical issue, while a value of 3 indicates a critical issue with the system.
