The WATCHDOG IT operations monitoring system, for both physical and virtual hosts (VMHost), can accurately obtain and analyze various hardware indicators through the IPMI protocol (including ILO, IMM, RSA, DRAC), such as motherboard status, operating voltage, temperature, and fan speed. This allows for timely detection and alert of any abnormal conditions.
Additionally, WATCHDOG supports remote control of server power through IPMI, enabling power on, off, and reboot operations.
Key Functions and Monitoring Items
➢ Real-time monitoring of critical server hardware indicators, including motherboard status, temperature, fan speed, and power status.
➢ Custom abnormal value detection and alerts through the IPMI protocol, preventing potential issues early.
➢ Remote control of server power to handle emergencies or perform maintenance.
Prevention and Response - Immediate System Alert
The "Host Hardware - IPMI" function ensures that the operations team can immediately grasp the server's health status. Once the hardware indicators exceed the normal range, the WATCHDOG system will immediately issue a warning, greatly reducing the risk of operational interruptions due to hardware failures. This is especially effective in avoiding impacts on multiple guests when a problem occurs with the virtual host VM Host.
Detection and Alert Mechanism
➢ Monitor hardware indicators such as temperature, fan speed, and voltage, and set alert thresholds.
➢ Provide real-time information updates and alert notifications for emergency handling and preventive maintenance.
➢ Long-term recording of alert data to analyze trends and optimize future operations strategies.
